BPSU’s Committee on Anti-Red Tape (CART) is seriously stepping up its audit mandate this 2026 — not just checking boxes, but actually refocusing on how things get done inside the university. On Jan 30, 2026, they conducted an audit on the Legal Affairs Office, headed by Atty. Joanalyn Libo-on.

The audit team includes CART Secretariat head Ms. Maria Crisanta V. Casupanan‑Canare and support staff Mr. John Emerson de Leon — showing this isn’t just symbolic, it’s operational.

The audit is directly tied to Republic Act No. 11032 (Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act) and the Anti‑Red Tape Authority (ARTA)’s mandates — meaning every process, form, approval loop, and waiting time is now under scrutiny to meet legal standards for transparency, speed, and accountability.

Key goals:

- Simplify workflows— cut unnecessary steps, reduce bottlenecks.

- Boost efficiency — faster approvals, fewer delays, clearer accountability.

- Ensure ARTA compliance— align all university procedures with national anti‑red tape laws.

- Minimize backlog — keep things moving so students, faculty, and external stakeholders don’t get stuck waiting.

Anchored through the University Memorandum No. 2025.0109, which formally institutionalizes CART’s role as the watchdog and fixer of bureaucratic friction across BPSU.
