1. 1) COA has already recommended to the City Accounting Office to withhold the salaries
and honorarium of all the officials and employees of the eight barangays, until the
supporting documents will be submitted.
2) If the barangay still fails to submit the documents, COAwill then disallow all its
disbursements and ask the barangay officials to refund the amount already disbursed.
3) A notice of disallowance will be issued to the barangay involved, after the annual audit
report (AAR) will be delivered by the barangays.
4) From the receipt of the notice of disallowance, the barangay will be given at least six
months to file their motion for reconsideration or an appeal in accordance with Republic
Act (RA) 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act (GPRA).
5) If the barangay will not file a motion for reconsideration, the disallowance will become
final and executory.
