An adequate and unbiased investigation has been made by surveying
officers.
3.
The recommendations of the surveying officer

attorney will review the findings and give opinions as to adequacy of
evidence and propriety of findings, before the approving authority's action
on the case.
When the monetary charges are assessed, the approving authority will forward
the report to the finance and accounting officer (FAO), not later than the
second duty day after the date the approving authority signs the document.
The final action on reports of survey establishes indebtedness of persons by
administrative procedure. The person charged may appeal the decision.
