DAET, CamNorte: Two offices among more
than 70 provincial accounting offices all over the country were given
“Outstanding Accounting Office Award” recently for their performance in 2012, a
government executive said recently.
Myrna V Sendon, provincial accountant,
said the CamNorte provincial accounting office and that of Pangasinan province
were awarded the highest award by the Association of Government Accountants of
the Philippines (Agap) in Bacolod City last month.
Agap is an organization of accountants
from different government departments and agencies established in 1950 aimed at
fostering unity among government accountants and protecting the accounting
profession.
It is also aimed at promoting and
maintaining high professional and ethical standards among government and
private accountants; advancing the science of accountancy; encouraging and
promoting and fostering cordial relations and understanding and intercourse
among government accountants, among other objectives.
Sendon said it was the Commission on
Audit (COA) that nominated the provincial accounting office here in its
performance in 2012 for the yearly award given to local government units
(LGUs), national government agencies (NGAs), and government owned and
controlled corporations (GOCCs).
As an outstanding provincial accounting
office all over the country, Agap recognized
the CamNorte provincial government “for having exemplary met the
criteria of accuracy, timeliness, reliability and compliance to accounting
rules and regulations” set in the selection of nominees.
Sendon surmised that as per experience
in the submission of accounting reports to COA she noted that there was not an
instance that they were questioned about the report for deficiencies or errors.
“That, perhaps, made us the top
performer among provincial accounting offices in the country,” she mused.
Gov Edgardo A. Tallado commended the
performance of the provincial accounting office saying the dedication of the
personnel and staff provides the window of how transactions were done in his
administration.
Tallado said he saw the dedication and
efficiency of Sendon in matters of accounting that’s why he appointed her to
head the provincial accounting office in 2012.
He said it is the first time that CamNorte
was given such recognition and that he believes that it validated the
transparency of financial transactions under his administration. – Bicol Mail
