Why do government accountants in LGUs, as compared to those in the National Government, have higher salary grades, vice versa?
Sir/Mam, in your research on magna carta of govt accountants, can I add also that why the positioning of head accountants of LGU compared to most Head accountants of National Government have a different SG levels? In LGU its SG-24 while in NGA most are SG-19? What is the reasoning behind on this set-up?
Another, why is the Accountant in NGA is under the Chief Administrative Office wherein this lacks independence in checking questionable decision because an accountant is also responsible in pre-auditing significant transactions, procurement, programs, plans and others that the accountant foresee a possible AOM, or problem to happen.
