The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) received an unmodified opinion from the Commission on Audit (COA) for the first time in the fiscal year of 2022 and it got a perfect score of 20.

According to the COA, the released report is based on the Financial Management Performance Rating based on the financial audit performed in this period of 2022 report by Michael R. Bacani Director Cluster 4, Defense and Security.

Based on the COA report, BFP received a 93 percent score an excellent score from the first Financial Performance Rating report.

Before this, it will be recalled that the COA approved the action of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) about the fact that the BFP should have a modernization program to keep up with the modern era.
