The Internal Audit Service Office successfully participated in a specialized session on the analysis and utilization of the Baseline Assessment of Internal Control System Results on July 20-22, 2026 at the Quest Hotel.

The three-day session equipped the internal auditors with the knowledge and tools to effectively evaluate BAICS results to:

By leveraging BAICS results as a valuable decision-making tool, the Internal Audit Service Office continues to promote a proactive, systematic, and risk-based approach to internal auditing- ensuring that audit efforts are focused on areas of greatest significance while promoting accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement in public service.

We also extend our sincere gratitude to Ms. Carmina Dela Cruz, Management Audit Division Head of the Internal Audit Unit, Department of Budget and Management (DBM), for serving as our resource speaker.
