The UP Mindanao delegation was composed of unit heads and representatives led by VC for Administration Leo Manuel Estana and Michelle Panis, Supply & Property Management Office's Brenda Acuna and Hazel Montecalvo, Accounting Office's Zenaida Calatrava and Jennifer Nonod, Cash Office's Emma Ruth Caalaman, Phil. Genome Center's Marian Luayon, Human Resources' Lynda Buenaobra, Campus Planning's Jean Marie Juanga and Oliver Telmo, Student Affairs' Maria Stella Salazar, and Office of Research's May Anne Mata. 

The COA team gave observations and advice on 2023 transactions, to which the UPMin team intermittently asked for clarifications and gave some explanations.
