Original Audit Finding Excerpt
"During the inspection, it was observed that several items of the donated assets were poorly maintained and inadequately protected from theft, loss, or damage. Most items, such as refrigerators, sofas, and folding tables and chairs, were found placed in an open-space covered court, exposed to temperature changes, moisture, and dust. Furthermore, some items were even directly exposed to rain and sunlight, resulting in significant deterioration and damage, rendering the assets unusable."
