The Commission on Audit (COA) has finalized its disallowance of P73.287 million in confidential funds spent by the Office of the Vice President (OVP) in December 2022. The funds were spent over 11 days without proper documentation.
The OVP, led by Vice President Sara Duterte, is required to return the money. The COA confirmed the disallowance after finding the spending lacked necessary documentation. The audit highlights irregularities in how the funds were used.
This follows a previous report that the OVP had not yet received the COA’s resolution confirming the disallowance. The audit process is part of broader efforts to ensure transparency in public spending. The case underscores ongoing scrutiny of government financial practices.
