What Happened?

The district office did not get a certification saying the projects follow the required rules. They thought it wasn't needed because the funds came from the general budget, but the rules require it. This missing document means the projects may not have been fully compliant.

Original Audit Finding Excerpt

"37 flood control and drainage projects have all the required supporting documents except for the certification of adherence to these requirements. The Management explained that since the flood control and drainage projects were funded under the GAA, they did not consider it necessary to secure additional funding from the main Office, where certification of adherence was required."
