Pagcor taps COA to audit Pogos
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) has tapped the Commission on Audit (COA) as a “stop-gap measure” while it has not yet hired a third-party auditor for Philippine offshore gaming operators (Pogos).
The COA has assigned a special team to Pagcor for Pogos after terminating a P5.8-billion deal with its third-party auditor in March.
“COA set up a special team, so the team assigned to Pagcor for the usual audit, is not the one that audits offshore gaming operators. There’s a special team from the COA head office that focuses on that alone,” Pagcor chair Alejandro Tengco said.
