The Government concurs with the auditor's findings and recommendations. The Epidemiology Division has established robust procedures to manage and monitor property and equipment effectively, adhering to Property and Procurement guidelines. All equipment is meticulously inventoried, and employees sign acknowledgment forms listing the items assigned to them, such as laptops or cell phones, with serial numbers clearly documented and safeguarded. However, DOH recognize the need for improved coordination between the Epidemiology Division and Property and Procurement. To enhance asset management, the Department of Health will update our Fixed Asset SOP to require that each division shares its asset inventory with Property and Procurement on a quarterly basis, ensuring more accurate and up-to-date records.
