Learn how to avoid COA disallowances

MANILA, Philippines — To address the clamor of many public officials in all national government agencies, LGUs and GOCCs to address their COA issues, the Center for Global Best Practices (CGBP) is hosting a one-day CPD accredited training in Iloilo titled, “Best Practices and Remedies to Avoid COA Disallowances,” on Jan. 12, 2018 at the Hotel del Rio, Pasay City.

The one-day special training will greatly benefit public officials of local government units, national government agencies, government-owned and controlled corporations, public utility companies as well as those private entities dealing with the government given that this is the only program that will provide them a comprehensive guide on what they must know to avoid those COA disallowances. 

For the private sector, it will serve them well to understand this topic in order for them to know how to package a project or supply goods and services to ensure that their deals don’t fall under illegal, extravagant, unnecessary and unconscionable transactions with the government. This lecture session will also give an opportunity for lawyers to learn how to defend their clients on cases involving such issues.

The program will explain in full details those adverse common findings (e.g. transfers of funds, hiring of private lawyers / consultants, travel expenses, collective negotiation agreements, unauthorized benefits and more) that result in COA’s notices of suspension, notices of disallowance and notices of charges.
