Original Audit Finding Excerpt
"The absence of adequate planning in the procurement of Human Resource Information System (HRIS) amounting to P39.596 million resulted in the non-development of an integrated Human Resource (HR) tool aligned with the Program to Institutionalize the Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM) of the Civil Service Commission (CSC), thereby increasing the risk of financial loss to NHA, while issues regarding interoperability, maintainability and efficiency of the stand-alone, legacy NHA systems remain unresolved, contrary to Section 7.1 and Section 48(e) of Republic Act (RA) No. 9184 and Section 2 of Presidential Decree (PD) No. 1445."
