ParSU officials and unit heads provided responses, justifications, and corrective actions implemented regarding previously issued COA Audit Observation Memorandums, where both parties worked toward ensuring that all audit findings were addressed. Further, the status of the implementation of audit recommendations from previous years was briefly discussed, highlighting that ParSu has already complied with and implemented 81% of these recommendations.
