With its presence in the Asia-Pacific region, CAL will be expected to supervise the implementation of the COC’s accounting and treasury policies, and internal audit functions which includes the monitoring of receivable and payable accounts, insurance coordination, investments, payroll, tax accounting, among others.
The CAL headquarters can also support the information technology of COC’s by "coordinating plans for electronic mail management, security and systems access, development financing and the design, programming, maintenance" of the system.
It will also communicate to the COC’s within the region policies on human resource management which includes matters of selection, training, and compensation of personnel, among other.
