MANILA, Philippines — A notice of disallowance may be issued to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and its foreign-based IT contractor that would affect an ongoing project aimed at boosting connectivity but which now threatens to disrupt operations, the Commission on Audit said in a report, a copy of which was obtained by The Manila Times.
The COA issued the warning after the LTO and Dermalog, a German-based information technology (IT) contractor, failed to explain discrepancies in the P1.272 billion of the P8.2 billion Road IT Infrastructure Project – Component A, also known as the Land Transportation Management System (LTMS), that were spent from 2019 to 2022.
