COA orders performance audit on flood control projects
The Commission on Audit (COA) has initiated a performance audit on government flood control projects nationwide following a directive from President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
The audit, ordered by COA Chairperson Gamaliel Cordoba through a memorandum dated August 25, 2025, addresses concerns over alleged undelivered, 'ghost,' and substandard flood control projects.
This is in line with COA Resolution No. 2024-018, which includes the Flood Risk Management and Resiliency Program (FRMRP) in its 2024-2026 Performance Audit Portfolio.
The performance audit aims to assess the effectiveness and impact of flood control projects, particularly in light of recent devastating floods.
Prior to the performance audit, COA ordered technical inspections of flood control projects in Bulacan from January 1, 2022, to July 31, 2025, prioritizing high-value projects.
These inspections require state auditors to confirm project existence, verify progress against work programs, and document findings with geo-tagged photos and videos.
