In its review report in June 2015, COA scrutinized the need and normality of 4,754 occupation orders, which were just for the leader's office.
State reviewers found that of the 14,499 man on the city government's finance, just 3,253 hold standard positions. Their compensations were charged to the city's close to home administrations spending plan.
The compensations of the 6,081 legally binding representatives and 5,165 employment orders, in the mean time, originated from the asset for upkeep and other working costs.
For COA, the sketchy, if not sporadic, premise for procuring advances support in the city government.
"The city has no composed arrangement or manual on the enlisting of workers especially under contract of administrations and occupation orders. Distinguishing proof of persons to be enlisted for such nature rests straightforwardly upon the proposal of the office heads and different authorities of the city," the organization noted.
Notwithstanding the inquisitive circumstances encompassing the enlisting of staff, COA likewise communicated worry about the absence of reports to demonstrate the authoritative representatives were really rendering work. Those appointed to Barangay Cultural Communities and Affairs Division, the city councilors' workplaces, and those answering to barangay chairpersons, for occurrence, had no day by day time records or participation logs while doing documented work.
"These conditions cast question that sections in the day by day time record of these workers… are controlled, therefore consistency and legitimacy of the related consumptions couldn't be discovered," the COA report said.
Duterte is a known stickler for the principle of law and has taken pride in being an effective leader of Davao City. He is reputed to be one of the conceivable presidential contenders in the 2016 decisions.
