COA calls out APO for sub-contracting printing gear for private printers
COA said in its 2019 Annual Audit Report for APO that sub-contracting is not allowed under the General Provisions of General Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2019. This also violates Section 4.6 of the Government Procurement Policy Board Resolution No. 05-2010.
“There were cases wherein the printing of the projects accepted by APO could be considered as sub-contracting instead of the lease agreement stated in the contracts entered into by and between APO and the different/lessors/private printers,” COA said. To support its claim, COA disclosed that the presence of APO printing machine operators in the premises of the lessors constitute a mere 14 percent of the total hours needed to complete a printing job.
In the same audit report, COA asked the APO board chairman and two other officials to refund to government P7.08 million total compensation they received from 2017 to 2019 without presidential approval.
