Who We Are
CPASLEADGROUP, INC. — formally the Citizens Participatory Audit System for Leadership of Exemplary Accounting Discipline to Government Resources with Official Utilization Protocols, Inc. — is a non-stock, non-governmental organization registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2022.
We're a consortium of Certified Public Accountants, tax analysts, audit professionals, systems thinkers, and volunteer technical aides, dedicated to fiscal transparency, accountability, and leadership in government accounting practices. We've seen what a lack of financial oversight leads to — misuse of funds, embezzlement, unethical practice — and we believe a well-structured system of accountability is one of the strongest deterrents against it.
Our core activities: COA report analyses, data-driven insight-sharing, advocacy for accountability, and public-awareness capacity building through trainings and workshops for professionals and government agencies.
Transparency and Accountability Monitoring Anywhere.
Track Record
In 2024–2025, we independently analyzed the Audited Financial Statements of highly urbanized Metro Manila LGUs for 2015 to 2023, focusing on cash-in-bank and cash-equivalent balances relative to fund utilization — and ranked the Top 10 NCR cities on that basis.
The awarding ceremony, held at a function venue in Quezon City, drew television and radio coverage and guests from the business, professional, and academic sectors. It wasn't a one-off: for two years running, Chairman Jose Esgana has hosted the LEAD NA TAMA Live Stream, and appeared as a guest across DWIZ radio and PTV programs on these same themes.
2026 Roadmap
Three linked programs extend our methodology from NCR cities to the provincial level — approximately ₱2,959,000 in combined funding, open to partnership at any scale.
A province-level assessment of fund utilization, transparency, and accountability, carried out by our researchers, auditors, accountants, and volunteers.
Recognizing the provinces and LGUs that scored highest on our transparency and accountability metrics — venue, full program, and trophy awarding, with broadcast and press coverage.
A sustained, multi-platform awareness campaign across written media, television, and video/reels, scaling up the channels we've already built for two years.
