1. INTRODUCTION

The COA Quality Manual (QM) defines and mandates the policies, systems and

procedures adopted to implement and continuously improve the Quality Management

System (QMS) of the Commission.

It identifies and embodies basic policies, objectives, guidelines, rules, regulations,

and standards set by the Commission in order to carry out its constitutional mandate

of a core process to provide auditing services of government resources. It defines

factors contributing to internal and external issues affecting satisfaction of interested

parties.

The COA QM, supported by documented information, aims to:

Describe the basic elements of the QMS of the Commission which shall serve as

reference in the implementation and continual improvement.

Gather client’s feedback of the Commission through satisfaction survey as a

monitoring and measuring mechanism of the implementation of the QMS.

Inform relevant interested parties of the Commission on the QMS of the

Commission.

Provide as reference of all personnel of the Commission and make them

responsible and accountable for the quality processes within their respective

jurisdiction.

The COA QM considers gender and development in the formulation of the business

process model of the Commission.

2. AGENCY PROFILE AND MANDATE

2.1. Agency Profile

The Commission on Audit, along with the Civil Service Commission and the

Commission on Elections, collectively known as the Constitutional Commissions, are

independent bodies which came into existence under the 1973 Constitution. Under

this Constitution, COA was given a broader area of audit coverage by including the

accounts of all subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities of government and

government-owned-and-controlled corporations among those to be examined,

audited and settled. The creation of the Commission on Audit was a transformation

from a one-man General Auditing Office lead by an Auditor General established

under the Commonwealth of the Philippines in 1935 into a three-man collegial body.

THIS DOCUMENT WHEN PRINTED is an UNCONTROLLED COPY. ENSURE that the printed copy being used is the

current version by checking the effectivity date of the CONTROLLED COPY in the FILE SERVER/WEBSITE.

To implement the transformation, Presidential Decree No. 898 dated March 3, 1976

was passed mandating the complete reorganization of the Commission on Audit.

The 1987 Constitution maintained the independence of the Commission on Audit as

the supreme auditing arm of the Philippine government and reiterated COA’s role as

the sole official external auditor of government agencies as well as government-

owned-and-controlled corporations (GOCCs).

COA’s funding requirements for Personnel Services, Capital Outlay and

Miscellaneous and Other Operating Expenses are sourced from the General Fund of

the government as embodied in the General Appropriations Act.

As of December 31, 2016, COA’s manpower complement totals to 8,765 consisting

of 4,739 Certified Public Accountants, 208 Lawyers and 3,818 from other disciplines.

Out of the total number, 2,899 are male and 5,866 are female personnel, with 2,847

personnel stationed in the Central Office and in the various government agencies in

Metro Manila, while 5,918 are assigned in the Regional Offices nationwide.

The overall organizational structure of COA is presented below:

findings, issues and observations, including misstatements, are summarized

the audit observations noted.

groups/teams, the Cluster Director / Regional Director undertakes a review of

8.1. Management Processes

8.1.1. Strategic Planning

Strategic planning is a systematic process through which an

organization agrees on, and builds commitment among key

stakeholders to priorities that are essential to its mission and are

responsive to the environment. Strategic planning guides the acquisition

and allocation of resources to achieve these priorities. It involves

articulating a vision, mission and values statement that determines the

strategic direction of the organization and determining goals and

objectives that describe how the organization intends to achieve its

vision and fulfil its mission.

In developing its Strategic Plan, the COA starts with identifying the

needs and expectations of its internal and external stakeholders,

analyzing existing COA practices, competencies and skillset of the COA

workforce; and identifying gaps between expectations and capacities of

the COA and formulates goals, objectives and initiatives to address

these gaps.

context; (b) identifying and assessing agency risks; (c) developing risk
