DIS exceeds its limit

While this may appear to be a relatively small amount, "in my view, it indicates lack of control of funds warranted to the ministry," says the Auditor General, Robby Sebopeng.In the year under review, the Ministry of Defence, Justice and Security was warranted P3,671,926,130 compared to P3,345,768,319 in 2011. "The actual expenditure for the years was P3,571,425,178 resulting in unspent funds of P100,500,952 representing three percent of the warranted provision," says the report. "While this is an overall satisfactory budgetary performance, it is nevertheless disappointing that the Directorate on Intelligence and Security sub-warrant was overspent by P2,177,180 representing one percent of the warranted provision."
