Kawit LGU Failed to Revert Thousands in Aged Payables, COA Audit Shows

A COA audit has revealed that Kawit municipality, under the administration of Angelo Aguinaldo, failed to properly handle approximately P278,828 in accounts payable that remained outstanding for over two years, violating national accounting regulations.

The Commission on Audit (COA) found that P52,928 of the total amount lacked proper documentation, calling into question the validity of these claims.

The remaining P225,900 consisted of unclaimed financial assistance intended for indigent residents of Kawit, Cavite.

According to audit documents, about P6,000 in financial assistance meant for Acela Yap and Alexandrea D. Ybanez had been erroneously recorded twice, having been both paid out and listed as a payable account.

The findings indicate a violation of Section 98 of Presidential Decree No. 1445, which requires that unvalidated government payables outstanding for two years should be reverted to the unappropriated surplus.

The unclaimed financial assistance raised particular concern among auditors, who noted that the two-year delay in claiming the funds “cast doubt on the necessity of the claim.”
