The Port Management Office of Misamis Oriental/Cagayan de Oro (PPA PMO MOC) held its CY 2026 Audit Entrance Conference on September 8, 2026, at the PPA GAD Hall, in coordination with the Commission on Audit (COA) Audit Team assigned to the Office.

The COA team was led by OIC-Regional Supervising Auditor Ms. Sandra A. Balindong, together with Audit Team Leader Ms. Everett T. Lim and Audit Team Member Ms. Ferelle Gale S. Lapiz.

The conference focused on key audit matters, particularly the importance of effective internal controls in ensuring efficient operations, reliable financial reporting, compliance with applicable rules and regulations, and the proper safeguarding of government resources. The three major types of internal controls—preventive, detective, and corrective controls—were also discussed.

The COA team likewise presented the CY 2026 audit thrusts, highlighting priority accounts and areas, including Lease Receivables and Lease Revenue, Service Concession Assets and Service Concession Revenue, and Cash and Cash Equivalents. Management was also reminded of the February 12, 2027 deadline for the submission of the CY 2026 Financial Statements and the accompanying Management Representation Letter.

The conference concluded with the Port Manager expressing appreciation for COA’s continued guidance and emphasizing the full cooperation and support of PPA PMO MOC Management and personnel in providing the necessary documents and information for the efficient conduct of the audit.

The activity reinforced the Office’s commitment to transparency, accountability, sound internal controls, and responsible stewardship of government resources.
