For the past five (5) straight years, (2019-2023), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Region 2 has been consistently earning an “Unqualified Opinion,” from the Commission on Audit (COA), marking a consistently high level of recognition of the government agency’s prudent use of government funds.

“From Day 1 my marching orders were to always be transparent, fair, honest, and prudent in all our transactions. We should always bear in mind that we are using people’s money, and therefore, we should strive to give what is due to the people, to always be mindful and respectful of COA’s mandate to disallow irregular, unnecessary, excessive, extravagant, illegal, or unconscionable dispensation of government funds,” said Regional Director Leah Pulido Ocampo, who assumed office in July 2019.

RD Ocampo also expressed her gratitude to the hardworking employees of DTI R2, including (ret.) ARD Ruben Diciano, (cur.) ARD Winston Singun, Admin. and Finance Chief Pedro Guimmayen, and his staff, as she commended them for their conscientious efforts in improving public service delivery and for always embodying the mantra of “Serbisyong Higit Pa Sa Inaasahan.”

According to the COA report, state auditors rendered an unqualified opinion on the fairness of the presentation of DTI R2’s financial statements, in accordance with the Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standards.

In its management letter, COA said the audit evidence it obtained was “sufficient and appropriate” to provide a basis for its opinion.
