MANILA, Philippines – The Climate Change Commission (CCC) has received an unmodified opinion from the Commission on Audit (COA) for the 11th consecutive year for its 2025 financial statements. This streak underscores the agency’s unwavering adherence to transparency and accountability.

An unmodified opinion—the best possible financial audit from COA—affirms that the CCC’s financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with prescribed reporting standards. This covers the agency’s financial position, financial performance, cash flows, changes in net assets or equity, and the comparison of budget and actual amounts, consistent with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS).

The audit was conducted in accordance with the International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAIs), with the COA confirming that no material misstatements or irregularities were identified during the audit process.

“This demonstrates our continued commitment to uphold the principles of good governance, particularly transparency and accountability in public service,” said CCC Vice Chairperson and Executive Director Robert E.A. Borje. “We take this as both a guide and a reminder to remain steadfast in the discharge of our duties as the lead office on climate change, ensuring that we deliver our mandate with integrity and fiscal responsibility, consistent with the direction of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.”

Borje extends his deepest gratitude to the agency’s officers and staff for their continued dedication over the years, recognizing that this achievement also calls for sustained efforts to uphold and further strengthen transparency in public service.

The CCC also expresses its appreciation to its stakeholders and partners for their continued support in upholding the principles of good governance, as well as to COA for its guidance and oversight, which have been instrumental in this achievement.
