Chapter 24-Government Accounting

Chapter 24-Government Accounting
Introduction
Government entities are not reporting to shareholders like profit oriented entities, but it is very important that they
can account for funds received and show how they have been spent. In some cases, resources may be contributed for
specific purposes and management is required to show that they have been utilized for that purpose. Perhaps most
importantly, taxpayers are entitled to see how the government is spending their money.
Regulation of local and national governments and governmental agencies in the European countries wherein our
local accounting standards are based, is by the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSAB),
which comes under the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). Likewise, in the Philippines as mandated
by 1987 Constitution, a New Government Accounting System (NGAS) shall be adopted.
The Government Accounting Manual (GAM) introduced the basic policies and procedures, the new coding system,
the accounting systems, books, registries, records, forms, reports and financial statements to be adopted by all
national government agencies effective January 1, 2002; and includes the Revised Chart of Accounts (RCA)
prescribed under Circular No. 2013-002, as amended.
Public sector has similar key characteristics to those in the private sector. They are typically established by
legislation and:
 Their objective is to provide goods and services to various recipients or to develop or implement policy on
behalf of governments and not to make a profit;
 They are characterized by the absence of defined ownership interests that can be sold, transferred or
redeemed;
 They typically have a wide group of stakeholders to consider (including the public at large;
 Their revenues are generally derived from taxes or other similar contributions obtained through exercise
of coercive powers; and
 Their capital assets are typically acquired and held to deliver services without the intention earning a
return on them.
Government Accounting
As defined and pursuant to Section 109 of PD 1445, government accounting, “encompasses the process of
analyzing, recording, classifying, summarizing and communicating all transactions involving the receipt and
disposition of government fund and property and interpreting the result thereof.”
Section 110, Presidential Decree 1445 sets down the following objectives of government accounting:
1. To produce information concerning past operations and present conditions;
2. To provide a basis for guidance for future operations;
3. To provide for control of the acts of public bodies and offices in the receipt, disposition and utilization of
funds and property; and
4. To report on the financial position and the results of operations of government agencies for the information
and guidance of all persons concerned.
Subjects of Government Accounting

Objectives of General Purpose Financial Statements
The objectives of general purpose financial statements (GPFSs) are to provide information about the financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making and
evaluating decisions about the allocation of resources. Specifically, the objectives of general purpose financial
reporting in the public sector are to provide information useful for decision-making, and to demonstrate the
accountability of the entity for the resources entrusted to it.
Fair Presentation. The FSs shall present fairly the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an
entity. Fair presentation requires the faithful representation of the effects of transactions, other events, and
conditions in accordance with the definition recognition criteria for assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses set out
in PPSAS. The application of PPSAS, with appropriate disclosures, if necessary, would result in fair presentation of
the FS.
Going Concern. The FSs shall be prepared on a going concern basis unless there is an intention to discontinue the
entity operation, or if there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
Consistency of Presentation. The presentation and classification of items in the FSs shall be retained from one
period to the next unless laws, rules and regulations, and PPSAS require a change in presentation.

Materiality and Aggregation. Each material class of similar items shall be presented separately in the financial
statements. Items of a dissimilar nature or function shall be presented separately unless they are immaterial. If a line
item is not material, it is aggregated with other items either on the face of FSs or in the Notes to the FSs. A specific
disclosure requirement in a PPSAS need not be satisfied if the information is not material.
Offsetting. Assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses shall not be allowed to offset unless required or
permitted by a PPSAS except when offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event.
Comparative Information. Comparative information shall be disclosed with respect to the previous period for all
amounts reported in the FSs. Comparative information shall be included for narrative and descriptive information
when it is relevant to an understanding of the current period’s FSs.
Compliance with PPSASs. An entity whose financial statements comply with PPSASs shall make an explicit and
unreserved statement of such compliance in the notes. Financial statements shall not be described as complying with
PPSASs unless they comply with all the requirements of PPSASs. Inappropriate accounting policies that do not
comply with PPSAS are not rectified either by disclosure of the accounting policies used, or by notes or explanatory
material.
Departure from PPSAS. In the event that Management strongly believes that compliance with the requirement of
PPSAS would result in misleading presentation that it would contradict the objective of the FSs set forth in PPSAS,
the entity may depart from that requirement if the relevant regulatory framework allows, or otherwise does not
prohibit, such a departure.
Comparative Information. Comparative information shall be disclosed with respect to the previous period for all
amounts reported in the FSs. Comparative information shall be included for narrative and descriptive information
when it is relevant to an understanding of the current period’s FSs.

utilization of funds. This also provides information on how the entity generates income authorized to be
used in their operation and its utilization.
5. Statement of Comparison of Budget and Actual Amounts. A comparison of budget and actual amounts
will enhance the transparency of financial reporting in government. This shall be presented by government
agencies as a separate additional financial statement referred in this Manual as the Statement of

benefit.
 an entity can, depending on the nature of the asset, exchange it, use it to provide goods or services, exact
a price for others’ use of it, use it to settle liabilities, hold it, or perhaps even distribute it to owners.

Revenues
Revenue from Exchange Transactions. Revenues received by the NGAs from exchange transactions are derived
from the following:
 Sale of goods or provisions of services to third parties or to other NGAs. Examples are:
1. Service Income – Permit Fees, Registration Fees, Registration Plates, Tags and Stickers Fee,
Clearance and Certification Fees, Franchising Fees, Licensing Fees, Supervision and Regulation
Enforcement Fees, Spectrum Usage Fees, Legal Fees, Inspection Fees, Verification and
Authentication Fees, Passport and Visa Fees, Processing Fees and Other Service Income; and
2. Business Income – School Fees, Affiliation Fees, Examination Fees, Seminar/Training Fees,
Rent/Lease Income, Communication Network Fees, Transportation System Fees, Road Network Fees,
Waterworks System Fees, Power Supply System Fees, Seaport System Fees, Landing and Parking
Fees, Income from Hostels/Dormitories and Other Like Facilities, Slaughterhouse Operation, Income
from Printing and Publication, Sales Revenue, Hospital Fees, Share in the Profit of Joint Venture and
Other Business Income.
 Use by other entity of assets yielding interest, royalties and dividends or similar distributions. Examples
are:
1. Interest income – charges for the use of cash or cash equivalents, or amounts due to the entity;
2. Royalties – fees paid for the use of entity’s assets such as trademarks, patents, software, and
copyrights; and
3. Dividends – share of the National Government from the earnings of its capital/equity investments in
Government-Owned or Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) and other entities.
Recognition and Measurement of Revenue from Exchange Transactions. Revenue from exchange
transaction shall be measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
a. Revenue shall be recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential
will flow to the entity and these benefits can be measured reliably, such as:
1. Revenue from the sale of goods
2. Revenue from the supply of services shall be recognized on a straight line basis over the specified
period of the services.
3. Revenue arising from the use by others of entity assets yielding interest, royalties and dividends or
similar distributions.
b. Revenue shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Any amount
of trade discounts and volume rebates allowed by the entity shall be taken into account.
Exchanges of Goods or Services for Similar/Dissimilar Good or Services. When goods or services are
exchanged or swapped for goods or services which are of a similar nature and value, the exchange is not
regarded as a transaction which generates revenue. However, when goods are sold or services are rendered in
exchange for dissimilar goods or services, the exchange is regarded as a transaction which generates revenue.
The revenue is measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, adjusted by the amount of any cash
or cash equivalents transferred. When the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be measured
reliably, the revenue is measured at the fair value of the goods given up, adjusted by the amount of any cash or
cash equivalents transferred.
Impairment Losses and Allowance for Impairment Losses. When an uncertainty arises about the
collectibility of an amount already included in revenue, the uncollectible amount, or the amount in respect of
which recovery has ceased to be probable, is recognized as an expense (impairment losses), rather than as an
adjustment of the amount of revenue originally recognized.
Revenue from Non-Exchange Transactions. Revenue of the NGAs from non- exchange transactions are derived
mostly from taxes, gifts and donations, goods in kind and fines and penalties. Most NGAs derive revenues from
transactions where they receive resources and provide no or nominal consideration directly in return. These are as
follows:
 Tax Revenue
1. Tax Revenue-Individual and Corporation
2. Tax Revenue-Property
3. Tax Revenue-Goods and Services
4. Tax Revenue-Others

Revenue from non-exchange transactions may also arise when, in respect of an inflow of resources from a non-
exchange transaction, the entity satisfies a present obligation recognized as a liability which may be as follows:
13. Trust Liabilities – Customers’ Deposits Payable and Guaranty/Security Deposits Payable
14. Deferred Credits – Deferred Finance Lease Revenue and Other Deferred Credits
15. Unearned Revenue – Investment Property and Other Unearned Revenue
Recognition of Revenue from Non-Exchange Transactions. The cash basis of accounting shall be applied by
all government agencies in the recognition of revenue from non- exchange transaction until a reliable model of
measurement of this revenue is developed. Therefore, asset and the corresponding revenue or liability that arises
from non-exchange transaction shall be recognized when collected or when these are measurable and legally
collectible.
a. Taxation revenue shall be determined at a gross amount. It shall not be reduced for expenses paid
through the tax system.
b. Gifts and donations, other than services in kind shall be recognized as assets and revenue when it is
probable that the future economic benefits or service potential will flow to the entity and shall be
measured at fair value.
c. Goods in-kind received without conditions shall be recognized as revenue immediately.
d. Donation in cash or in kind shall be recognized as revenue.
Measurement of Revenue from Non-Exchange Transactions. Revenue from non-exchange transactions shall
be measured at the amount of the increase in net assets recognized by the entity, unless it is also required to
recognize a liability. Where a liability is recognized and subsequently reduced, because the taxable event
occurs, or a condition is satisfied, the amount of the reduction in the liability will be recognized as revenue.
Measurement of Assets on Initial Recognition from Non-Exchange Transactions. An asset acquired
through a non-exchange transaction shall initially be measured at its fair value as at the date of acquisition.
Measurement of Liabilities on Initial Recognition. Where the time value of money is material, the liability will be
measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation.
Tax Revenue. Taxes are economic benefits or service potential compulsory paid or payable to public sector
agencies, in accordance with laws and or regulations, established to provide revenue to the government. Taxes do
not include fines or other penalties imposed for breaches of the law.
Recognition of Asset through Transfers. An entity shall recognize an asset in respect of transfers when the
transferred resources meet the definition of an asset and satisfy the criteria for recognition as an asset.
Measurement of Transferred Assets. Transferred assets are measured at their fair value as at the date of
acquisition.
Recognition and Measurement of Fines
a. Fines are recognized as revenue when the receivable meets the definition of an asset and satisfies the
criteria for recognition as an asset.
b. Where an entity collects fines in the capacity of an agent, the fine will not be recognized as revenue of the
collecting entity.
c. Assets arising from fines are measured at the best estimate of the inflow of resources to the entity.
Recognition and Measurement of Bequests
a. Bequests which satisfy the definition of an asset are recognized as assets and revenue when it is probable

that the future economic benefits or service potential will flow to the entity and the fair value of the assets
can be measured reliably.
b. The fair value of bequeathed assets is determined in the same manner as for gifts and donations
Recognition and Measurement of Gifts, Donations and Goods In-kind
a. Gifts and donations (other than services in-kind) are recognized as assets and revenue when it is probable
that the future economic benefits or service potential will flow to the entity and the fair value of the assets
can be measured reliably.
b. Goods in-kind are tangible assets transferred to an entity in a non-exchange transaction, without charge, but
may be subject to stipulations
c. Goods in-kind are recognized as assets when the goods are received, or there is a binding arrangement to
receive the goods. If goods in-kind are received without conditions attached, revenue is recognized
immediately. If conditions are attached, a liability is recognized, which is reduced and revenue recognized
as the conditions are satisfied.
d. On initial recognition, gifts and donations including goods in-kind are measured at their fair value as at the
date of acquisition, which may be ascertained by reference to an active market, or by appraisal.
Grant with Condition. If conditions are attached to a grant, a liability is recognized, which is reduced and revenue
recognized as the conditions are satisfied. (Illustration – refer to Appendix Section)
Recognition and Measurement of Services In-kind. These services meet the definition of an asset because the
entity controls a resource from which future economic benefits or service potential is expected to flow to the entity
Recognition and Disclosure of Pledges. Pledges do not meet the definition of an asset because the recipient entity
is unable to control the access of the transferor to the future economic benefits or service potential embodied in the
item pledged. Agencies do not recognize pledged items as assets or revenue. If the pledged item is subsequently
transferred to the recipient entity, it is recognized as a gift or donation. Pledges may warrant disclosure as contingent
assets.
Advance Receipts of Revenue. When an entity receives resources before a transfer arrangement becomes binding,
the resources are recognized as an asset when they meet the definition and satisfy the criteria for recognition as an
asset and recognized as a liability until the event that makes the transfer arrangement binding occurs, and all other
conditions under the agreement are fulfilled. When that event occurs and all other conditions under the agreement
are fulfilled, the liability is discharged and revenue is recognized.
Recognition and Measurement of Concessionary Loans
a. The portion of the loan that is repayable, along with any interest payments, is an exchange transaction.
b. An entity considers whether any difference between the transaction price (loan proceeds) and the fair value
of the loan on initial recognition is non-exchange transaction.
Dishonored Checks. A check is dishonored either by non-payment or non- acceptance. Dishonor by non-payment
occurs when (a) the check is duly presented for payment and payment is refused or cannot be obtained; or (b)
presentment is excused and the check is overdue and unpaid.
At a glance, the following accounts and their respective accounting treatment is similar to IFRS unless otherwise
it is indicated:

liability or equity instrument of another entity.
d. Financial asset – is any asset that is:
1. Cash;
2. An equity instrument of another entity;
3. A contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity;

potentially unfavorable to the entity.
2. A contract that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments.
 Initial Measurement of Financial Assets. When a financial asset at fair value through surplus or deficit is
recognized initially, an entity shall measure it at its fair value. In the case of a financial asset not at fair
value through surplus or deficit, the financial asset is recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of the financial asset.

net amount that an entity expects to realize from the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of operations.
 Perpetual Inventory System – is a system that continually tracks all additions to and deletions from
inventory
 Cost Formulas - Weighted Average Method. The weighted average method shall be used for costing
inventories. This method calls for the re-calculation of the average cost of all items in stock after every
purchase.
 Impairment; Perpetual Inventory Method
 Semi-expendable Property. Tangible items below the capitalization threshold of P15,000 (refer to PPE
capitalization threshold) shall be accounted as semi-expendable property. The following policies apply as
follows: (a) Semi-expendable property which was recognized as PPE shall be reclassified to the affected
accounts. (b) These tangible items shall be recognized as expenses upon issue to the end-user.
Investment Property
 Carrying amount – is the amount at which an asset is presented in the statement of financial position.

continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life or expects to incur when settling

990 C H A P T E R
23
a liability.
 Exchange Transactions – are transactions in which one entity receives assets or services, or has liabilities
extinguished, and directly gives approximately equal value (primarily in the form of cash, goods, services,
or use of assets) to another entity in exchange
 Fair Value – is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
 Impairment Loss of a Cash-generating Asset – is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount.
 Impairment Loss of a Non Cash-generating Asset – is the amount by which the carrying amount of an
asset exceeds its recoverable service amount.

without directly giving approximately equal value in exchange, or gives value to another entity without
directly receiving approximately equal value in exchange.
 Residual Value – is the equivalent to at least five percent (5%) of the cost of an asset that the entity would
currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were
already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life, unless a more appropriate
percentage is determined by an entity based on their operation.
 Recoverable Service Amount – is the higher of a non cash-generating asset’s fair value less costs to sell
and its value in use.
 Useful Life – is the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an entity; or the
number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by an entity.
 Value in use of a cash generating asset – the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to
be derived from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.
 Value in use of a non-cash generating asset – the present value of the asset’s remaining service potential.
 Criteria for Recognition (include the threshold criteria of P15,000)
 Applying the Capitalization Threshold of P15,000. The capitalization threshold of P15,000 represents the
minimum cost of an individual asset recognized as a PPE on the Statement of Financial Position. This
threshold shall be applied on an individual asset or per item basis. Each item within the bulk acquisition
with aggregate or total value of PPE, such as library books, computer peripherals and small items of
equipment, will need to meet the capitalization threshold to be recognized as PPE.
 Measurement and Recognition
 Costs not qualified for recognition as PPE
 Modes of Acquisition of PPE
 Exchange Transactions. One or more items of PPE may be acquired in exchange for non-monetary assets,
or a combination of monetary and non-monetary assets. The cost of such an item of PPE is measured at its
fair value unless (a) the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance, or (b) the fair value of neither
the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable.
 Types of Exchange Transactions. (a) Exchange with Commercial Substance. An exchange transaction has
commercial substance by considering the extent to which its future cash flows or service potentials is
expected to change as a result of the transaction. (b) Exchange without Commercial Substance. If the PPE
acquired in an exchange transaction lacks commercial substance, the cost is measured at the carrying
amount of the asset given up. Consequently, no gain or loss shall be recognized.
 Non-exchange Transaction. Grants. Grants are assistance in the form of transfer of resources, in cash or in
kind, to an agency/entity from other levels of government, private sectors or international institutions with
or without conditions relating to the operating activities of the agency/entity. These grants shall be
recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are
intended to compensate on a systematic basis. Grants, including non- monetary its cost shall be measured at
its fair value as at the date of acquisition, and shall be recognized when there is reasonable assurance that:
(a) the entity will comply with the conditions attached, and (b) the grants will be received.
 Donation without Condition. Cost of PPE acquired through donation without condition shall be taken up at
its fair value at the date it is acquired. All expenses incurred in connection with the donated asset, such as
delivery and installation costs, shall be included in the amount recognized as asset. The fair value of the
PPE shall be recognized as “Income from Grants and Donations in Kind.”

 Donation with Condition. Where a PPE is acquired through donation with conditions or restrictions, a
liability account shall be recognized until the conditions or restrictions have been fulfilled.
 Grants. Grants are assistance in the form of transfer of resources, in cash or in kind, to an agency/entity
from other levels of government, private sectors or international institutions with or without conditions
relating to the operating activities of the agency/entity. These grants shall be recognized as income over the
periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate on a
systematic basis. Grants, including non- monetary its cost shall be measured at its fair value as at the date
of acquisition, and shall be recognized when there is reasonable assurance that: (a) the entity will comply
with the conditions attached, and (b) the grants will be received.
 Measurement after Recognition. For consistency and uniformity, the cost model shall be applied to an
entire class of PPE. Cost model means that PPE are carried at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and
any accumulated impairment losses.
 Subsequent Costs of PPE other than Reforestation Projects. Subsequent costs are costs of the day-to-day
servicing of an item of PPE which are recognized as an expense when incurred. Costs of day-to-day
servicing are primarily the costs of labor and consumables, and may include the cost of small parts. The
purpose of these expenditures is often described as “repairs and maintenance” of an item of PPE.
 Repairs and Maintenance. Repairs and maintenance primarily maintain or improve the functionality and
capacity of the PPE; increase its service life; improve the quality of its output; or reduce the operating cost.
These may be categorized into major and minor repairs. Minor repairs shall be directly charged to expense
account “Repairs and Maintenance” of the specific PPE while major repairs shall be added to the carrying
amount of the PPE and shall be depreciated over the remaining life of the PPE. Where cost cannot easily be
differentiated between a minor or major repair, it shall be treated as expense.
 Betterments
 Additions and Rearrangements
 Depreciation (except for land and not recognized heritage assets, all PPE shall be depreciated.)
 Impairment of PPE other than Reforestation Projects
 Heritage Assets. Heritage assets are those assets which have historical, cultural and environmental
significance, and are intended to be preserved in trust for future generations. Examples of heritage assets
include historical buildings and monuments, statues, museum and gallery collections, archeological sites,
national archives, ruins, conservation areas, nature reserves, and works of art.
 Infrastructure Assets. Besides the five criteria for recognizing PPE, infrastructure assets have
the following additional characteristics:
a. Part of a system or network;
b. Specialized in nature and do not have alternative uses;
c. Immovable; and
d. May be subject to constraints on disposal.
 Public infrastructures shall be recognized as PPE in the entity’s financial statements. These shall be
recorded in the books of accounts as Infrastructure Assets such as road networks, sewer system, water and
power supply systems, communication networks, etc.
 Reforestation Projects. Reforestation projects are recognized as Land Improvements, Reforestation
Projects in the books of accounts of the DENR or other entity concerned.
 Initial Costs for Reforestation Projects. The following constitutes the initial costs of Land
Improvements-Reforestation Projects: (a) Survey, Mapping and Planning (SMP); (b) Nursery Operation
and Seedling Production or Procurement (c) Plantation Establishment (Site preparation, hauling of
seedlings and planting)
 Subsequent Costs for Reforestation Projects. Subsequent expenditures incurred for the reforestation
project shall be accounted for as follows: (a) Costs for the maintenance and protection incurred within the
duration of the reforestation project such as construction of firelines, strip brushing, replanting, providing
pest control, patrolling shall be capitalized. (b) Costs for the maintenance and protection incurred after the
duration or turn-over of the reforestation project shall be charged to Repairs and Maintenance-Land
Improvements. (c)The cost of replacing trees shall be expensed where small numbers of trees are being
replaced in any one particular area
 Impairment of Reforestation Projects. When reforestation projects are destroyed/impaired by force
majeure (fortuitous event beyond the control of man e.g., typhoon, flood, landslides, earthquakes, and the
like), an impairment loss shall be taken up for the trees as soon as it is discovered that the trees in the area

992 C H A P T E R
23
have been destroyed. This being the case, it will be up to each agency/entity to liaise with their valuers at
the point in time a reforestation area has been destroyed to arrive at an impairment value.
 Derecognition

 Agricultural Activity – is the management by an entity of the biological transformation and harvest of
biological assets for sale, including exchange or non- exchange transactions, or for conversion into
agricultural produce, or into additional biological assets.
 Agricultural Produce – is the harvested product of the entity’s biological assets.
 Bearer Biological Assets – are those biological assets that are used repeatedly or continuously for more

 Intangible Heritage Assets – are intangible assets which displayed the following characteristics: (a) Their
value in cultural, environmental and historical terms is unlikely to be fully reflected in a financial value
based purely on a market price; (b) Legal and/or statutory obligations may impose prohibitions or severe
restrictions on disposal by sale; (c) Their value may increase over time; and (d) It may be difficult to
estimate their useful lives, which in some cases could be several hundred years.

Act No. 6957, Entitled "An Act Authorizing The Financing, Construction, Operation And Maintenance Of
Infrastructure Projects By The Private Sector, And For Other Purposes",:
a. Build-operate-and-transfer (BOT) – A contractual arrangement whereby the project proponent
undertakes the construction, including financing, of a given infrastructure facility, and the operation
and maintenance thereof. The project proponent operates the facility over a fixed term during which it
is allowed to charge facility users appropriate tolls, fees, rentals, and charges not exceeding those
proposed in its bid or as negotiated and incorporated in the contract to enable the project proponent to
recover its investment, and operating and maintenance expenses in the project. The project proponent
transfers the facility to the government agency or local government unit concerned at the end of the
fixed term that shall not exceed fifty (50) years. This shall include a supply-and-operate situation
which is a contractual arrangement whereby the supplier of equipment and machinery for a given
infrastructure facility, if the interest of the Government so requires, operates the facility providing in
the process technology transfer and training to Filipino nationals.
b. Build-transfer-and-operate (BTO) – A contractual arrangement whereby the public sector contracts
out the building of an infrastructure facility to a private entity such that the contractor builds the
facility on a turn-key basis, assuming cost overruns, delays, and specified performance risks. Once the
facility is commissioned satisfactorily, title is transferred to the implementing agency. The private
entity however operates the facility on behalf of the implementing agency under an agreement.
c. Contract-add-and-operate (CAO) – A contractual arrangement whereby the project proponent adds to
an existing infrastructure facility which it is renting from the Government and operates the expanded
project over an agreed franchise period. There may or may not be a transfer arrangement with regard to
the added facility provided by the project proponent. If there will be transfer of the added facility to the
public sector at the end of the arrangement, this shall be treated as service concession arrangement.
d. Develop-operate-and-transfer (DOT) – A contractual arrangement whereby favorable conditions
external to a new infrastructure project which is to be built by a private project proponent are
integrated into the arrangement by giving that entity the right to develop adjoining property, and thus,
enjoy some of the benefits the investment creates such as higher property or rent values.
e. Rehabilitate-operate-and-transfer (ROT) – A contractual arrangement whereby an existing facility is
turned over to the private sector to refurbish, operate and maintain for a franchise period, at the expiry
of which the legal title to the facility is turned over to the Government. The term is also used to
describe the purchase of an existing facility from abroad, importing, refurbishing, erecting and
consuming it within the host country.

with a view to its disposal within twelve months from acquisition; and
b. management is actively seeking a buyer
 A controlled entity is not excluded from consolidation simply because the investor is a venture capital
organization, mutual fund, unit trust, or similar entity.
 A controlled entity is not excluded from consolidation because its activities are dissimilar to those of the
other entities within the economic entity, for example, the consolidation of GBEs with entities in the budget
sector. Relevant information is provided by consolidating such controlled entities and disclosing additional
information in the consolidated financial statements about the different activities of controlled entities.

Accounting Systems
The General Accounting Plan (GAP) shows the overall accounting system of a government agency/unit. It includes
the source documents, the flow of transactions and its accumulation in the books of accounts and finally the
conversion into financial information/data presented in the financial reports. The following accounting systems are:
1. Budgetary Accounts System
2. Receipt/Income and Deposit System
3. Disbursement System
4. Financial Reporting System
The National Budget
The national budget is a plan for financing the government activities for a fiscal year prepared and submitted by
responsible executive to a representative body whose approval and authorization are necessary before the plan can
be executed.
Balance Budget
It is a budget where the proposed expenditures are equal to or less than the estimated revenues. Currently, the
government is operating with a budget deficiency. As such, it is serving government priorities to achieve a balance
budget by increasing revenues and cutting on expenditures.
Performance-Informed Budgeting
It is a budgeting approach that uses performance information to assist in deciding where funds will go. Performance
information, both financial and non-financial information, is presented in the appropriations document, which
provides for the context for the programs, activities and projects pursued by the different agencies of government.
Kinds of Budget
1. As to Nature
a. Annual Budget – a budget which covers a period of one year. It is the basis of an annual appropriation.
b. Supplemental Budget – a budget which supplements or adjusts a previous budget which is deemed
inadequate for the purpose it is intended. It is the basis for a supplemental appropriation.
c. Special Budget – a budget of special nature and generally submitted to special forms on account that
itemizations are not adequately provided in the Appropriation Act or that amounts are not at all included
in the Appropriations Act.
2. As to Basis
a. Performance budget – a budget emphasizing the program or services conducted and based on
functions, activities and project, which focus attention upon the general character and nature of work to
be done, or upon the services to be rendered.
b. Line-item Budget – a budget the basis of which is the objects of expenditures such as salaries and
wages, travelling expenses, freight, supplies and materials, machinery and equipment, etc.
3. As to Approach and Technique
a. Zero-based Budgeting – a process which requires systematic consideration of all programs, projects
and activities with the use of define ranking procedures. In this approach, activities are analyzed and
presented in “decision packages” or key budgetary inclusions.
b. Incremental Approach – a budget where only additional requirements need justifications. It focuses
analysis of incremental changes in the budget and maybe done within the context of performance and
program budgeting.
The Budget Process (Budgetary Procedures)/Budget Cycle
One of the distinguishing characteristics of government accounting is the requirement of a budget which shall be the
basis for all expenditures. Budgeting is performed on a basis consistent with the revenue and appropriation systems.

The appropriation system provides for the control and ultimate disbursement of funds. The budgetary procedures
are as follows:
1. Budget Preparation and Presentation. It covers estimation of government revenues, the determination of
budgetary priorities and activities within the constraints imposed by available revenues and borrowing
limits, and the translation of approved priorities and activities into expenditure levels for a budget year.
The budget preparation begins with the issuance of a budget call issued by the Department of Budget
and Management (DBM). This document outlines the specific guidelines on the preparation of the agency
budget estimates to be submitted to the DBM. The DBM then consolidates all budgets to form a
government-wide budget to be submitted to the President for final approval before it will be forwarded to
the Congress.
2. Budget Legislation and Authorization. This procedure is a prerogative of the Congress, which refers to
the enactment of the General Appropriations Bill based on the budget of “receipts and expenditures” into
Appropriations Act. Series of budget hearings/debate is conducted whereby the various heads of agencies
would explain to Congress the details of their respective budgets. Appropriations are approved by the
legislative body in the form of General Appropriations Act which covers most of the expenditures of the
government. This Act will be forwarded to the President to sign it into law.
3. Budget Execution or Operation. This covers the various operational aspects of budgeting, thus making
budgeting to serve as one of the principal tools of management control to insure that public funds are spent
only for the specific purpose for which they are appropriated. This aspect involves also the regulation of
funds release, the scheduling of preferred activities, etc. The responsibility for monitoring the budget
execution rests primarily with the DBM.
4. Budget Accountability. This aspect focuses on tracking, monitoring, and evaluation of expenditures and
performance. This is simply achieved by comparing performance with predetermined plans.
Budgetary Accounts
Budgetary accounts comprise of the following items:
1. Appropriation – it refers to an authorization made by law or other legislative enactment, directing the
payment of goods and services out of government funds under specified conditions or for special purposes.
2. Allotment – it refers to the authorization issued by the DBM to the Agency, which allows it to incur
obligations, for specified amounts, within the legislative appropriation.
3. Obligation – it refers to the commitment by a government agency arising from an act of a duly authorized
official, which binds the government to the immediate or eventual payments of a sum of money.
Obligation accounting is modified to simplify the procedures in the incurrence in liquidation of obligations
and the recording of the budgetary accounts (allotments and obligations incurred and liquidated).
The Expense Accounts
1. Personal Services (PS) – items under this account includes basic pay, all authorized allowances, bonus,
cash, gifts, incentives and other personal benefits of officials and employees of the government.
2. Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) – items under this account includes expenses
necessary for the regular operations of an agency like, among others, travelling expenses, training and
seminar expenses, water, electricity, supplies expense, maintenance of property, plant and equipment, and
other maintenance and operating expenses.
3. Financial Expenses (FE) – items under this account includes bank charges, interest expense, commitment
charges, documentary stamp expense and other financial charges. It also includes those losses incurred
relative to foreign exchange transactions and debt service subsidy to Government Owned Controlled
Corporations (GOCCs).
Accounting Procedures – Books of National Government Agency
Only the basic accounting procedure for a national government agency will be presented and illustrated in the
succeeding discussions.
Accounting for Disbursements and Related Transactions
The disbursement activities of the National Government Agencies shall start from the receipt of Notice of Cash
Allocation (NCA) from the Department of Budget and Management. Government agency cannot pay its
payables/obligations without the NCA, since it is the sole purpose of the agency in receiving their NCA for
incurrence and eventual payment of its obligations.
The Notice of Cash Allocation

1000 C H A P T E R
23
The NCA received by the agency may be net of the amount of the taxes to be withheld by the agency, because of the
Tax Remittance Advice (TRA) System. The NCA may be used for payment of personal services, maintenance and
other operating expenses, financial expenses, capital outlay, and other miscellaneous transactions.
Notice of Cash Allocation (NCA) is an authorization issued by the Department of Budget and Management to
government agencies to withdraw cash from the National Treasury through the issuance of Modified Disbursement
System (MDS) checks or other authorized mode of disbursements.
The receipt of Notice of Cash Allocation by the agency shall be recorded in the Regular Agency (RA) books as debit
to account “Cash-Modified Disbursement System (MDS), and credit to account “Subsidy from National
Government.”
Pursuant to the Tax Remittance Advice (TRA) system, the NCA released by the Department of Budget and
Management to the agency is reduced by the estimated taxes expected to be remitted by the Agency to the Bureau of
Internal Revenue (BIR) through the TRA.
Accounting for Obligation
Obligation refers to a commitment by a government agency arising from an act of a duly authorized official which
binds the government to the immediate or eventual payment of a sum of money. The agency is authorized to incur
obligations only in the performance of activities which are in pursuits of its functions and programs authorized in
appropriation acts/laws within the limit of the Allotment Release Order (ARO).
Disbursements
Disbursements constitute all cash paid out during a given period either in currency (cash) or by check. It may also
mean the settlement of government payables/obligations by cash or by check. Disbursements refer to the settlement
of governments payables/obligations by cash or by check. Typical transactions for which disbursements are made
are as follows:
1. Personal Services
2. Maintenance and Other Operating System
3. Capital Outlay
4. Financial Expenses
Disbursements shall be covered by Disbursement Voucher (DV) or payroll and paid either by check or in cash.
Payment Out of the Petty Cash Fund
Petty Cash Fund shall be maintained under the imprest system. The fund shall be sufficient for the non-recurring,
emergency and petty expenses of the local government unit for one month.
Disbursements by Check
The following are the two types of checks being issued by government agencies:
1. Modified Disbursement System (MDS) Checks – issued by government agencies chargeable
against the account of the Bureau of Treasury, which are maintained with different MDS –
Government Servicing Banks. These are covered by Notice of Cash Allocation (NCA), an authorization
issued by the Department of Budget and Management to government agencies to withdraw cash from the
National Treasury through the issuance of the MDS checks or other authorized mode of disbursements.
2. Commercial Checks – issued by the government agencies chargeable against the Agency Checking
Account with government servicing banks. These are covered by income/receipts authorized to be
deposited with authorized government depository banks.
Disbursements by Cash
Disbursements by cash shall be made from cash advances drawn and maintained in accordance with Commission on
Audit rules and regulations. Cash payments shall be made based on duly approved payroll/disbursements vouchers.
