INTERNAL AUDIT AND CONTROL

 
   

Internal Control System

   
     While policies are set by the Board, Management is primarily responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the internal control system of the company. The Board through its Audit Committee oversees the actions of Management and monitors the effectiveness of the Internal Control System put in place.  Recommendations are provided by Management and/or the Board, and in some cases by the External Auditor - Commission on Audit (COA) to address certain issues and concerns of the company.
   
   
   
       
   

     The Board established an internal control audit system that can reasonably assure the Board, Management and stockholders that the company's key organizational and operational controls are faithfully complied with, effective and adequate.
