BCLTE

The Local Treasurer Eligibility (LTE) was conferred on 180 individuals after passing the BCLTE. The figure represents 17.84% of the 1,009 total examinees.

The CSC said that the institution of the LTE is part of the Standardized Examination and Assessment for Local Treasury Service or SEAL program of the Department of Finance, which seeks to professionalize the ranks and improve the competencies of treasurers. It is also seen to significantly improve recruitment and selection process in the local treasury service.
