The erroneous reporting would have a great impact on the payment of CSD<br />

accomplishments and release of retention fee. Consider:<br />

• The reported double entry connotes double counting which consequently increased the actual<br />

developed area. It must be noted that CSD accomplishments on established plantations were<br />

paid on a per hectare basis, thus, double reporting also results in double payment;<br />

• Inconsistent reporting of project size also connotes excess payment on CSD contract since as<br />

mentioned, payment is on a per hectare basis, hence, the bigger the size, the bigger the<br />

payment;<br />

• Fictitious areas as manifested by their absence in other reports connotes excess payment as<br />

this means payment for something that were not really accomplished;<br />

• Any unreasonable increase in project area will affect WASR as bigger areas contribute much<br />

in the weighted average rate computation; and<br />

• Overstated survival rate in some parcels contributed to the attainment of survival rate<br />

benchmark.<br />

The inconsistencies of data maintained by DENR manifest unreliable<br />

reporting system. As long as these reports remain unreconciled, the actual<br />

accomplishments of the POs could not be determined.<br />
