2. The balances of the Real Property Tax (RPT) Receivable and Special Education Tax
(SET) Receivable accounts as of December 31, 2024, between the records of the
Municipal Accounting Office (MAO) and the Municipal Treasurer’s Office (MTO)
showed a difference of ₱90,418,239.18 due to the non-reconciliation of their records thus,
the RPT/SET Receivable and Deferred Income accounts, as presented in the financial
statements, are deemed unreliable.
We recommended that the Municipal Mayor instruct the Municipal Accountant and
Municipal Treasurer to reconcile the difference amounting to ₱90,418,239.18 between
the Real Property Tax (RPT) and Special Education Tax (SET) Receivables account
balances.
To prevent the further accumulation of unreconciled differences, we further
recommended that they, in coordination with the Municipal Assessor, conduct regular
and timely reconciliations of the total collectibles from the Basic and Special Education
Taxes against the recorded RPT and SET Receivables account balances.
Additionally, to promote transparency and ensure full disclosure, we recommended that
any remaining unreconciled differences be properly reported in the Notes to the Financial
Statements.
