Indicator Relevance/ Description Data Source SGLG Minimum Requirement

Good Financial Housekeeping


1. Audit Opinion + 30% An opinion rendered by Commission on Audit  LGU’s Annual Audit Report by the Provinces, cities and municipalities:
of recommendations based on the fairness of the financial Commission on Audit (CYs 2016
acted upon statements prepared by a government entity and 2017) 1. Most recent COA Audit Opinion is
at the end of each fiscal year. All government  List of official audit opinions from unqualified or qualified; AND
entities, including LGUs, are mandated to COA website 2. 30% of recommendations acted
prepare financial statements following the upon
accounting standards prescribed by COA, in
accordance with generally accepted
standards for public sector institutions.

Types of opinion:
 Unqualified - signifies that a clear opinion is
rendered which means that the financial
statements present fairly, in all material
aspects, the results of the operations and
the financial condition of the local
government unit (LGU) for the period and
date indicated, based on existing
government standards, and in compliance
with government laws, rules and
regulations.
 Qualified - Indicates that certain material
transactions and/or accounts have been
found to be improper, are questionable or
are requiring more solid justifications and
therefore have not been passed in audit.
The transactions and/or accounts under
questions, however, are not so significant
relative to the total operations of the
subject entity, as to fully negate other
aspects of operations which were found to
be in order

Indicator Relevance/ Description Data Source SGLG Minimum Requirement

 Adverse - Reveals that the financial


statements of the government entity do
not fairly present its results of operations
and financial condition, and are not in
compliance with prescribed laws and
applicable guidelines. An adverse opinion
puts to question the entire financial
operation of the subject entity and
demonstrates past and/or present
management’s inability to resolve
previously disallowed transactions
 Disclaimer / No Opinion - means that the
auditor of the subject government entity
does not have sufficient basis to form any
opinion on the financial statements, or the
financial statements presented are
inadequate such that no opinion can be
made, or no financial statements are
available upon which an opinion can be
rendered. In general, a disclaimer is worse
than an adverse opinion because this
shows management’s failure to perform a
basic mandate, which is to keep
adequate records of an agency’s
financial transactions.

Recommendations acted upon refer to those


that are fully and partially implemented.
For example, LGU has a total of 19 prior year’s
audit recommendations where 11 were fully
implemented and 7 were partially
implemented. To compute:

- 95% of audit recommendations acted upon

Computation: Locally-sourced revenue = RPT


(basic) + Tax on Business + Other taxes +
Regulatory fees + Service/user charge +
Receipts from economic enterprise

The benchmark 5% increase refers to the sum


of inflation rate - determined by the Philippine
Statistics Authority, and average population
growth rate in the country. This means that an
LGU must not only aim for a simple increase in
collection, but also, ensure that its financial
capacity to deliver services catches up with
the general level rise of prices of goods, and
the growing number of people over the years.
