In line with the preparations for the CY 2026 Anti-Drug Abuse Council (ADAC) Performance Audit, and to ensure the completeness, accuracy, and quality of the required Means of Verification (MOVs) of local government units in Misamis Oriental, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Misamis Oriental convened technical officers on March 24, 2026, to start the CY 2026 ADAC Performance Audit Pre-Assessment Activity.
The activity served as a vital preparatory mechanism to help guarantee that submitted documents are compliant with audit indicators, properly organized, and supported by sufficient evidence, thereby strengthening the readiness of LGUs for the upcoming regional assessment.
Facilitated by Cluster Head Jay Niel C. Añasco, CESE, the activity included an orientation on the indicator references, standards, and assessment parameters, as well as the assignment of technical officers who will review the submitted documents. It also aimed to enhance the quality of MOVs through an initial document screening, identify gaps and deficiencies for immediate compliance, and establish timelines and responsibilities to ensure the timely completion of the review process.
Through this initiative, DILG Misamis Oriental reinforces its commitment to providing technical assistance and promoting the effective and sustained functionality of local ADACs across the province. (DILG MisOr | J. Añasco)
