C. Audit Opinion
6.1. No adjusting journal entries were taken up in the books to record the
restoration of cash equivalent and the recognition of appropriate
payable/liability account for the unreleased/unclaimed checks at the end
of the reporting period, which is not in accordance with the Philippine
Public Sector Accounting Standards, thus, resulting to the
understatement of the accounts thereof by ₱4,475,891.93.

D. Summary of Significant Observations and Recommendations
7. For the above-mentioned audit observations and which have caused the
issuance of a qualified opinion, we recommended to Management the
following corrective measures:
7.3. Require the Municipal Accountant to review all journal entries to ensure
that transactions are properly recorded to reflect in the financial
statements the actual results of operation for every calendar year;
7.4. Require the Municipal Accountant to ensure that only actual and valid
expenses shall be taken up in the books using the appropriate expenses
accounts and be recorded in the period to which these expenses relate.
7.5.5. Ensure that the succeeding revenues from contract lease will be
recorded in accordance with accrual basis and Philippine Public
Sector Accounting Standards;
8.1. The existence, completeness, and accuracy of the Cash Local Treasury
Account in the amount of ₱8,359,980.33, could not be ascertained due
iii
to: a)Presence of unreconciled balances between the Subsidiary Ledger
(SL) balances and treasury records; b) Negative balances in the
Subsidiary Ledger; and c) Cashbooks to record collections and deposits
were not updated nor properly accomplished.
8.2. Had MEEDO observed the proper procedures in posting the notice of
vacancy for unoccupied stalls, in compliance with section 48 of the
MEEDO Code, the public and the potential applicants could have been
informed of such vacancy and the MEEDO could have generated an
approximated amount of ₱475,200.00, as additional income from stall
rentals.
8.3. The MEE Administrator and Market Collector assessed and collected
Stall Rentals Rates, which are lower than prescribed Market Stall Rental
Rates under Section 50 of the MEEDO Code of Barobo, thus, LGU
Barobo lost an amount of ₱496,308.75 as underassessment/collection.
8.3.1. Instruct the Market Supervisor to assess and collect daily rental
fees based on the rates prescribed under MEEDO Code; and
iv
8.3.2. Coordinate with the MEEDO Board to formulate plans in
updating/amending the rate of rental fees to be collected from
market stall rentals.
