units (LGUs), are mandated to prepare financial 2. 30% of recommendations
statements following the accounting standards fully complied with
prescribed by COA, in accordance with generally
accepted standards for public sector institutions.
Types of opinion:
● Unmodified - 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 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
● 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. A
finding of “Management Letter” shall fall
under this.

improvement.
The sub-indicator intends to measure the

extent of compliance of the LGUs in
utilizing the ECCD-IS to capture the
children’s profile as basis for recognizing
efforts on local governance and improving
service delivery standards, policies and
plans.
In 2015, the DSWD Memorandum Circular

No. 3 series of 2015 titled, “Guidelines for
the Institutionalization of the DSWD Early
Childhood Care and
Development-Information System
(ECCD-IS)” was issued to institutionalize
the use of the Information System.
(b) RA 10140 also provides that LGUs shall

allocate counterpart funds for the
continuing professional development of
their ECCD public service providers.
Relative to this, LGUs shall support the
accreditation of its Child Development
Centers (CDCs) and Workers (CDWs), as
provided in RA 10410 sec. 3, DSWD
Administrative Order No. 15s. 2011 and
ECCD Council 2015 Guidelines on the
Registration and Granting of Permit and
Recognition to Public and Private Child
Development Centers/Learning Centers
Offering Early Childhood Programs for 0 to
4 Years Old Filipino Children. The
accreditation of the ECCD service
providers is the quality assurance strategy
of the government to ensure that the
rights, needs, and development of children
are met. For CY 2022, SGLG shall support

the generation of data on the status of all
CDCs and CDWs in preparation for the full
accreditation of these service providers
later on.
(c) Another initiative related to ECCD is the

implementation of the Supplementary
Feeding Program. It is the provision of
food in addition to regular meals to
children ages 3-4 years old in the Child
Development Centers (CDC) and
Supervised Neighborhood Play (SNP)
Areas nationwide.
The sub-indicator intends to measure the

rate of accomplishment of the LGUs in the
completion of the required 120 feeding
days for all children enrolled in the CDCs
and SNP areas.
In 2016, the DSWD Administrative Order

No 4, series of 2016 titled, “Amended
Omnibus Guidelines in the
Implementation of the Supplementary
Feeding Program” was issued to
institutionalize the program. The
Department also issued several guidelines
to further address the gaps and emerging
issues including the procurement scheme
and program implementation to cope with
the mobility restrictions brought about by
the pandemic. These guidelines include:
● MC 10, s. 2016 entitled “
