The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has partnered with Isla Lipana & Co./PwC Philippines for the review of the systems and processes of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) and the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB).
PwC Philippines is a professional services firm engaged in delivering audit and assurance apart from tax and advisory services within and outside the country.
DENR Secretary Antonia Loyzaga said the recent Field Operations Management Conference has uncovered gaps in the processes.
“This will be an opportunity to actually address those gaps and to build value on the efforts done by everyone in the department,” Loyzaga said.
The DENR said it recognizes the need for organizational transformation through governance and risk management as it evolves and adapts to the changing environment and social landscape, which must involve critical evaluation of the agency’s existing processes, compliance and identifying opportunities for improvement.
PwC Philippines will conduct comprehensive assessment using appropriate governance, risk management and compliance tools to review and assess risks in the existing systems and processes of MGB and EMB. – Jed Macapagal
