The evaluation of the Department of Justice of the Parole and Probation Administration’s degree of compliance with laws, rules and regulations governing its operations has just closed, September 25, 2024. Administrator Bienvenido O. Benitez, Jr., and the Division Chiefs sat down with Internal Audit Service Director Arnold Joseph Co, Internal Auditor IV Eva Mempin, Internal Auditor III Grace Asuncion Nolong, and Internal Auditor I Jonell Detablan for the closing meeting earlier today.

Besides compliance with laws, the Agency was also assessed on the effectiveness of controls of operating and support services units in achieving its objectives.

The audit which was done face-to-face was randomly scheduled between July 1 and September 16, 2024.

In its memorandum, the IAS noted five Audit Observation Bulletins which once addressed would further strengthen the internal control system and conformance to the identified standards of PPA.  

Administrator Benitez expressed on a positive note the Agency’s commitment to complying with the said observations.
