A Letter of Authority (LOA) is not a general authority that allows any revenue officer to conduct an audit. It is a special authority issued only to the specific revenue officers named in the LOA.

📌 Key points to remember:
✔️ Only the officers explicitly named in the LOA are authorized to conduct the audit.
✔️ Substituting or reassigning officers without issuing a new LOA is improper.
✔️ A Memorandum of Assignment (MOA) cannot replace or serve as proof of audit authority.

This doctrine reinforces that the power to authorize tax investigations belongs exclusively to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue or his duly authorized representative.
