Deficiencies in the receipt and distribution by the Office of the Vice President (OVP) of donations in-kind were noted by the Commission on Audit (COA) in the latest annual audit report released by state auditors on Thursday, July 1. COA released the 2020 annual audit report for the OVP a day after the latter boasted that the state audit agency gave Vice President Leni Robredo's office "the highest audit rating". The OVP said this is the third year it received an "unqualified opinion" rating which it the "best opinion" a government agency can receive from COA. However, in its observations and recommendations, COA noted "process gaps" in OVP's handling and monitoring of the receipt and distribution of donations in-kind. Robredo's office received material donations from various donors in 2020 which were meant for distribution to the public affected by the adverse impacts of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and typhoons during the year.
