(NAR) VOL. IV NO. 1 / JANUARY - APRIL 1993
[ CDA MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 92-013 s. 1992, November 10, 1992 ]
COURSES OF ACTION ON THE FAILURE TO SUBMIT THE REQUIRED ANNUAL REPORT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AFTER 30 SEPTEMBER 1992
The Central Office received a number of queries from the Legal Officers of the extension offices inquiring into the process of handling cooperatives who failed to submit the annual report and audited financial statements in spite of the extension granted until 30 September 1992. In view thereof, the Board during its meeting held on November 10, 1992, resolved to approve the following courses of action to be taken by our field personnel concerning such violation of our administrative order:
a. To be strict and to express the idea that the Authority can penalize the cooperatives for their failure to submit the annual reports and audited financial statements.
b. The above may be done by the Area Cooperative Director by issuing a formal letter to the concerned cooperatives as formatted in Annex "A" (see below).
If the erring cooperatives fail to respond with the above, the next recourse would be to:
c. Be very strict with such cooperatives by sending a follow-up letter as shown in Annex "B" (see below).
d. If the concerned cooperatives still do not apply, then, proceed with the filing of a petition for mandamus with the proper court.
e. Depending on the outcome of the litigation, initiate cancellation proceedings.
f. The above steps however may be dispensed with if the erring cooperatives opt for voluntary dissolution under Articles 65 and 66 of RA 6938.
Please be guided accordingly.
Adopted: 10 Nov. 1992
