Original Audit Finding Excerpt
"the delayed issuance of DO No. 14, series of 2015, which formalized accessibility roles in January 2025, has led to the absence of essential personnel and organizational structures, hindering early monitoring and coordination efforts. The lack of proper turnover documentation, particularly follo wing the retirement of the agency’s representative to the National Council on Disability Affairs, further disrupted program continuity."
