(Legazpi City, October 11, 2023) Compliance and Internal Audit Office (CIAO officer-in-charge Aida Marfil reiterated on Monday the office’s mandate, objective, and purpose which summed up to efficiency in internal audit.

During the flag-raising ceremony for Capitol officials and employees, she appealed from respective offices and departments of the Provincial Government for ease in submitting the required documents and accounts.

While reporting also their accomplishments during the past months, Marfil explained CIAO's mandate to assist all members of the management from the top to the lowest level of authority including the rank and file, and the effective and efficient discharge of responsibilities by furnishing recommendations to office activities under audit.

However, she clarified that the establishment and installation of an internal control system is not included in their office’s mandate.

Marfil further explained that the function of their office is to ensure compliance to the implementation of audits and recommendations and the conduct of operations audits to ensure that targets are met.

Additionally, part of their office’s mandate is to conduct management audits to ensure that offices have sound organizational structure and streamline processes and procedures.

“May appeal lang kami [CIAO] kasi hirap na hirap talaga [kami] mag-gather ng documents. We appeal to the officers and employees being audited to make available the documents needed so that we can submit our reports on time,” said Marfil.
