Documentary deficiencies on the procurement of drugs and medicines

Inappropriate recognition of procured drugs and medicines as outright expenses
The city accounted for medicine purchases as used-up expenses right away instead of first recording them as inventory, making it difficult to track stock levels and prevent loss or misuse.

Insurable properties not covered by insurance
The city did not buy insurance for many of its buildings and vehicles, leaving them unprotected against damage or loss. It also let vehicle registrations lapse and paid fines for being late, which is against the law and wastes public money.

Discrepancies in HDMF remittances due to various factors
The city did not always send the exact amount of money it deducted from employees' pay to the Pag-IBIG fund. This was due to mistakes like new employees not being processed correctly, a technical error in the online payment system, and a delay in recording a payment. A small balance was left at the end of the year but was paid the next month.

Discrepancies in GSIS remittances due to lack of reconciliation
The city did not always send the exact amount of money it deducted from employees' pay to the GSIS pension fund. This happened because the city did not regularly check its records with GSIS when employees were hired, promoted, retired, or left. Also, a small amount was not accepted by the GSIS system and had to be paid later.

Nineteen Prior Year Audit Recommendations Not Implemented
The previous year's audit made 35 recommendations to fix problems. The city only acted on 16 of them and left 19 unaddressed, so the same issues may still exist.
