Abstract
Ensuring transparency and accountability in budget spending is a big concern to school administration today. This is in fact the past and the present issue of most schools in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or BARMM especially at the regional level. It is presumed that through greater accountability, the leaky pipes of corruption and inefficiency will be repaired; aid and public spending will be channeled more effectively and development initiatives will produce greater and more visible results (McGee, 2013:10). Unfortunately, there remains a need to improve practices to conform with the government financial guidelines among public schools. There are doubts and complaints from the parents that the actual utilization of school funds such as the Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE), and other collections are not properly disclosed.
