INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

The National Statistician and Civil Registrar General

Phi[ippine Statistics Authority

1ast Avenue, Quezon Citx

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Philippine Statislics

\uthority (PSA), which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as at December 31

2016, and the Statement of Financial Performance, Statement of Changes in Net

Assets/Equity, Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Comparison of Budget and Actual

Anount for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and

other explanatory information.

Management s Responsibility br the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial

statements in accordance with the Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standards

(PPSAS), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable

the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether

due to fraud or error.

Auditor s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our

audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Philippine Public Sector Standards

on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan

and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free

from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and

disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's

judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial

statements, whether due to fraud or error In making those risk assessments, the auditor

considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the

financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of

the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of

accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by

management. as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to

provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.

Basesjbr Qualified Opinion

1. Out of the Y1.260 billion Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE), R1.191 billion PPE

accounts of the CO and 10 ROs were unreliable due to: (a) erroneous

capitalization/recognition of expenses as Buildings account, erroneous recognition

of Construction in Progress-Building and Other Structures (CIP-BOS) account

instead of CIP-Land Improvements (CIP-LI) and incorrect recognition in the CIP-

BOS account in the CO; (b) inclusion of lost/missing PPE in the Report on the

Physical Count of PPE (RPCPPE) in NCR; (c) non-recognition of PPE transferred

from CO to NCR, ROs I and IX; (d) inclusion of semi-expendable assets with value

of less than P15,000.00; (e) purchased PPE were recorded as supplies expenses in

the books of RO II; (f) non-reconciliation of the accounting and property records in

ROs VII, IX and XII; (g) non-disposal of unserviceable PPE in NCR, ROs VI and

XIII; (h) non-conduct of physical inventory of PPE, and non-

preparation/submission of the RPCPPE in ROs I, 111, VI, VII and XII; (i) non-

maintenance of PPE Ledger Cards (PPELCs) and non-updating of Property Cards

(PCs) and PPELCs in NCR, ROs 1, VI, and FX.

2. The regularity and validity of the disbursements in the CO of P496.521 million out

of the P585.726 million recognized under the account Other MOOE as of

December 31, 2016 is doubtful due to the non-submission of the JEVs and

supporting documents for transactions amounting to P472-276 million and the non-

attachment of supporting documents such as Disbursement Vouchers (DVs) and

Payroll amounting to P24.245 million, contrary to Section 4(6) of PD 1445, COA

Circular Nos. 2012-001 and 2015-007 dated June 14, 2012 and October 22, 2015,

respectively.

3. Of the P88.284 million recognized as Due from GOCCs account as of December

31, 2016, P86.860 million remained unliquidated as of date despite the lapse of

almost 10 years and COA's issuance of an Audit Observation Memorandum

(AOM) pertaining to the said issue.

4. The carrying amount of the Inventory accounts of P71 135 million is unreliable due

to: (a) non-reconciliation of accounting and property records in CO, NCR and RO

Vil; (b) non-adjustment of semi-expendable assets, non-utilization of the weighted

average method in costing inventories, non-reporting of all inventories in the Report

on the Physical Count of Inventories (RPCI), non-utilization of the prescribed

Requisition and Issue Slips (RIS), Report on Supplies and Materials and Issued

(RSMI) and RPCL in NCR; (c) non-recognition of purchases as inventories in RO

VIII; (d) non- mnaintenance/non-updating of Stock Cards (SCs) and Stock Ledger

Cards (SLCs) in NCR, ROs II, VI, VII and IX; (e) non-conduct of physical

inventory and non-preparation/non-subrnission of the RPCI in ROs 11, I1, VI, VII

and IX; (f) non-preparation of the RIS, RSMI and RPCI and non-utilization n
