Budgeted accounts of appropriations and allotments are entered in the registry maintained by DBM
(Department of Budget and Management). Allotments and obligations are entered in the registry
maintained by the agency.
The notice of cash allocation (NCA) received by the agency from the DBM is journalized in the
regular agency books (RA books). The other set of books of an agency is the national government
books (NG books) for income items they are not authorized to use.
The obligations incurred by the agency are not journalized, but posted to the appropriate registry, as
follows:
For Capital Outlay -RAOCO
Personal Services -RAOPS
Maintenance & Others -RAOMO
Financial Expenses -RAOFE
Generally, withheld taxes by the agency are no longer remitted to BIR, but retained and credited to
Subsidiary Income from National Government (SING) under the Tax Remittance Advice (TRA)
System. The NCA released to the agency is reduced by the amount of estimated withholding taxes
pertinent to the allotment covered by the cash allocation.
Asset/perpetual inventory method will be followed in the recording of expenditures if it applies to
more than one period or when payment is for materials for stock. The expense is taken up when the
items are consumed.
Costs of assets being constructed are debited to construction in progress account (using
construction period theory). This CIP account is closed to the appropriate asset account upon
completion.
Constructed Public Infrastructures are not shown among the fixed assets on the Statement of
Financial Position, rather they are deducted from government equity (as part of closing entries) and
transferred out to an appropriate registry.
Depreciation on fixed assets are taken up on the month following the month of purchase or
completion of construction. A 10% scrap value on the asset is always assumed and the estimated
life is prescribed by COA.
Income for which the agency is authorized to use for its operation is recorded in the regular agency
books. If the authority is with limitations, such as any excess is to be remitted to the National
Treasury the collections shall first be recorded in the regular agency books, the expenses
journalized, and the excess is to be remitted to the National Treasury and recorded in the agency’s
NG books.
Two trial balances are prepared:
a) Pre-closing trial balance which is also the adjusted trial balance from which the statement of
income and expense is prepared.
b) Post-closing trial balance from which the statement of financial position is prepared.
Adjusting entries at end of period are the same as those recorded in commercial accounting.
Closing entries are similar to commercial accounting with some minor differences.
Records of the BTR (Bureau of Treasury). Upon receipt of the copy of the NCA from the DBM, the
BTR shall enter it in the Registry of NCA and Replenishment (RENREP). It shall also enter the transfer
of cash from its bank account(s) to the appropriate MDS account.
The obligation is recognized and will be entered in the appropriate RAO when obligation is incurred
as evidenced by the approved Allotment and Obligation Slips (ALOBS)
Upon receipt of the NCA, the Accountant shall journalize it as “Cash in the Treasury for Modified
Disbursement System (MDS)” and “Subsidiary Income from National Government” which in effect
identifies the share, of the Agency in the income of the National Government.
The accountant shall credit “Cash, National Treasury-MDS” each time a payment is made charged
against the NCA and debit the specific account being paid for, either asset or expense account.
Note that there is a new expense classification, the financial expenses. They are categorized
separately from the MOOE since they are not operating expenses. It shall maintain separate registry
for leases from the Special Purpose Fund, the Registry for Special Purpose Funds Appropriation
(RESPFA).
The DBM shall maintain the Registry of Allotment and NCA (RANCA) for the allotments and the NCA
issued to the agency. The RANCA shall be the control and monitoring record of the DBM. The DBM
shall furnish the Bureau of Treasury a copy of the NCA.
