    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Zubiri inaccurately claims that confidential funds can be used for repair of classrooms

    By VERA Files  |  Dec 01, 2022 12:29 PM

    A 2015 Commission on Audit (COA) set of guidelines defines confidential expenses as lump sum amounts for “surveillance activities in civilian government agencies.” It categorically states that “in no case shall (confidential or intelligence funds) be used for … construction or acquisition of buildings or housing structures.”

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Cardema falsely claims no disallowances were issued to NYC

    By VERA Files  |  Oct 10, 2022 5:56 PM

    In its 2021 audit report, COA ordered NYC to refund certain amounts of unauthorized or unsubstantiated prepaid load cards as well as irregular and unnecessary expenditures. It had previously issued notices of disallowance after flagging excessive claims of travel and meals in 2018 and “expenses not in accordance with existing government rules and regulations” in 2019.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: No, Duque is NOT going to jail over the COA-flagged P67B DOH funds

    By VERA Files  |  Sep 06, 2021 10:50 AM

    There is no report of any imprisonment as there are no cases filed against the health secretary, although the Senate blue ribbon committee and the House committee on public accounts began last month separate inquiries into the DOH’s handling of COVID-19 multi-billion funds following a recent Commission on Audit (COA) report flagging “deficiencies” in the agency’s pandemic budget.

    VERA FILES FACT SHEET: Maari bang ihinto ni Duterte ang paglalathala ng mga ulat ng COA?

    By VERA Files  |  Aug 26, 2021 10:40 AM

    Naging pangalawang independiyenteng constitutional body ang Commission on Audit (COA) na nakatanggap kamakailan ng maaanghang na pananalita mula kay Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte. Matapos kastiguhin ang Commission on Human Rights (CHR) sa ilang pagkakataon dahil sa kritikal na paninindigan nito sa kanyang giyera laban sa droga, ibinaling ng pangulo ang kanyang galit sa COA dahil sa natuklasan nitong P67.32 bilyon “deficiencies” ng Department of Health (DOH) sa paggasta ng mga pondo para sa pagtugon sa COVID-19.

    VERA FILES FACT SHEET: Can Duterte stop publication of COA reports?

    By VERA Files  |  Aug 26, 2021 9:44 AM

    The Commission on Audit (COA) recently became the second independent constitutional body that got a tongue-lashing from President Rodrigo Duterte. After castigating the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) on several occasions for its critical stand on his war on drugs, the president has turned his ire on COA over its findings noting “deficiencies” in P67.32 billion of the Department of Health’s (DOH) spending of the COVID-19 response funds.
