CARPIO, ACTING CJ. |
||||
| The directive of OCA Circular No. 113-2004 requiring the submission of monthly reports of collections of court funds and fees is mandatory.[4] Mendoza's transgression already happened before when his attention was called on 13 November 2007 about his failure to submit the required monthly financial reports. It resulted to the withholding of his salaries starting July 2008 until he complied with OCA's directive. Yet, despite the previous warning he received to be more circumspect in the performance of his duties, Mendoza again failed to comply with OCA Circular No. 113-2004. It even came to the point that the Court had to form an audit team to look over Mendoza's accounts. The Court did not have to utilize its resources if only Mendoza had been more conscientious in performing his responsibilities. The records also showed that even when his attention was called in 2012 to submit the financial reports, he still failed to submit the reports and only fully complied in February 2014. | |||||
