The Palawan State University University Student Government (USG) expresses its regret over the recent โAdverse Opinionโ issued by the Student Commission on Audit (SCOA) concerning the financial statements of the USG for the 2nd Semester of Academic Year 2025โ2026. The current administration recognizes the seriousness of the findings and remains committed to transparency, accountability, and responsible financial management. We are currently taking the necessary steps to address the concerns raised, reconcile financial records, and improve the financial management of the USG.
Former USG President Jhon Grover Longsud, who served as President from July to September 2026 and previously served as a Senator under former President Jay Cze Dador, acknowledged and respected the findings of SCOA. He emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in student governance and explained that some of the concerns involved unreconciled records carried over from previous administrations, as well as recording and documentation issues. He also stated that the findings should serve as a guide in improving financial controls, bookkeeping, and the turnover of records between administrations.
During a coordination meeting with the current USG on September 28, 2026, former USG President Jay Cze Dador also addressed the Adverse Opinion concerning the financial statements covering his administration. He accepted responsibility for the outcome and acknowledged that the findings did not reflect the level of financial stewardship expected from the student government.
Former President Dador explained that the audit remained unfinished due to unliquidated claims from Academic Years 2023โ2024 and 2024โ2025, as well as incomplete turnover of financial records from those administrations. He also discussed SCOAโs findings, including concerns involving the classification of checks, unrecorded accounts payable and receivable, unrecorded and unsupported disbursements, cash variances, understated property and supplies, and other recording and documentation issues.
According to his explanation, the concerns mainly involved financial recording, classification, documentation, and turnover deficiencies. He also stated that the findings did not identify missing funds, theft, or corruption. These statements represent the former presidentโs response and should be considered together with the official audit report issued by SCOA.
The current administration recognizes that financial accountability is a continuing responsibility that extends across administrations. Proper documentation and turnover of records are necessary to ensure continuity and accountability within the USG. The concerns raised through the audit provide an opportunity to improve our existing systems and financial practices.
At present, the current administration is working to address the concerns raised by the audit. We remain committed to cooperating with SCOA and the concerned former and current officers in clarifying, reconciling, and properly documenting outstanding financial matters. We will also act on the findings and recommendations concerning the current administration once they are officially issued.
The USG upholds that accountability must be demonstrated through proper documentation, transparency, cooperation, and action. Moving forward, the current administration will continue strengthening its financial systems and practices to ensure that future administrations inherit clearer, more organized, and properly accounted-for records for the benefit of the entire Palawansuan community.
