Navotas gets COA's 'unmodified opinion' for 8th year in a row

The City Government of Navotas once again secured an “unmodified opinion” from the Commission on Audit (COA), maintaining its record for eight straight years.

Mayor John Rey Tiangco Thursday received the COA report from Percival Arlos, OIC-Supervising Auditor of the Navotas Auditing Unit.

Navotas has obtained an “unmodified opinion” since 2016, the only local government in Metro Manila to have such record.

"Our 8-year streak is a testament to our transparent and honest spending of city government funds. Mindful of our limited resources, we made sure that we used every cent of our people's money for projects and programs that would serve their best interests," Tiangco said.

“We thank and commend all department heads and employees who have worked hard for us to achieve this honor. May this recognition inspire us to continue to uphold the highest standards of public service,” he added.

COA gives an "unmodified opinion" to a public institution that has presented its financial position, financial performance and cash flows in a fair manner and in accordance with the Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standards.
