RMO No. 52-2010: Amends the coverage and date of the Written Competency Examination

Key points

1. Who must take it. The WCE is mandatory for Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs, including OICs, of the LT Collection and Enforcement, Assessment, Collection, Special Investigation, Collection Enforcement and Legal Divisions and divisions under the Legal Service. It also covers Revenue Officers I to IV and other holders of items performing seizure agent and collection functions, including Revenue Collection Officers, and personnel in Attorney I to IV items or other legal functions.
2. Exempt officials. Revenue District Officers and Assistant Revenue District Officers, including OICs, are exempt. So are Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs, including OICs, of LT District Offices, LT Regular Audit Divisions 1-4, LT Excise Audit Divisions 1 and 2, and the National Investigation Division.
3. Monitoring in place of exam. Exempt officers are instead closely monitored by concerned National Office officials, who regularly notify them of underperformance on key performance indicators tied to the Strategy Map priorities.
4. Exam schedule. The exam is held on August 29, 2010 (Sunday) from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. A Revenue Special Order issued at least one (1) month before gives the venue and room assignments.
