The University of Northern Philippines held a seminar-workshop on “Retooling on Financial Claims” on March 6-7, 2025 at the Romualdo Tadena Hall. The first day of the activity was attended by both the unit heads and the frontline personnel. The event provided an opportunity for each participant to enhance their existing skills, knowledge and abilities on the budgeting procedures and preparations of documents for financial claims for an improved performance and efficiency and their respective roles in the organization. 

Vice President for Finance and Administration in his message during the opening program emphasized the importance of updating personnel skills and knowledge in the preparation of documents. He underscored the importance of timeliness in document preparation for accuracy and efficiency, ensuring that information is relevant which ultimately prevents errors and improves overall outcomes. 

Dr. Marlette E. Tongson led sessions on budgeting procedures and internal guidelines on budgeting, while Ms. Mona R. Briones presented the bottlenecks on financial claims during year-end and discussed the documentary requirements on financial claims.

The second day of the event included workshops on common transactions in UNP, as well as sessions on budgeting and accounting.
