COTABATOCITY --- The Municipal Treasurers League (MUNTREAL) of Maguindanao gathered last October 26 to discuss organizational matters after the successful conduct of its three-day Capacity-building and Revenue Generation Seminar-Workshop for Municipal Treasurers and Collectors held last October 12-14 in Davao City.

Per assessment, Engr. Tokan Brahim, president of MUNTREAL, said the seminar-workshop for municipal treasurers and collectors was a success.

“We are grateful on the support of the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF) in Region XII. Without them, our event could not have been possible,” Brahim said.

During their monthly meeting, the discussions revolved around the Local Government Unit Financial System and ICT Skills Survey and Utilization of 20 Percent Development Indicators to qualify for the Seal of Good Local governance, among others, and the reminder on the deadline for submission of the Statement of Receipts and Expenditures.

Brahim said the MUNTREAL members are also gearing up for the upcoming Basic Competency for Local Treasury Examination.

“They are going to take the exam soon and now they are having reviews,” Brahim said.

The scope of the examination covers Management of Local Treasury Services, Mobilization of Resources, Management of Inter-Government and Other Fund Transfer, Preparation and Analysis of Treasury Reports, Safekeeping of Local Funds and Records, Coordinating and Communicating Local Treasury Matters with Stakeholders, Management of Public Management, Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards, and Leadership, Management and Analytical Thinking.
