DILG Bohol proudly congratulates the Province of Bohol, the City of Tagbilaran, and all 47 municipalities for successfully passing the CY 2025 Good Financial Housekeeping (GFH) Assessment.

This remarkable achievement reflects the unwavering commitment of Bohol's local government units to transparency, accountability, and sound fiscal management. Through consistent compliance with the Full Disclosure Policy (FDP) requirements, particularly the timely and complete posting of required financial documents, as well as adherence to the Commission on Audit (COA) requirement of an unmodified or qualified opinion on the most recent audit report, these LGUs have demonstrated their dedication to good governance and the responsible stewardship of public resources.

Achieving a 100% passing rate in the GFH assessment is a testament to the collective efforts of local chief executives, sanggunian members, local finance committees, and all public servants who work tirelessly to uphold the highest standards of financial accountability and transparency.

Congratulations on this well-deserved accomplishment!
