The adoption of CBS pursuant to Executive Order No. 91, s. 2019 proves to be challenging in many ways, particularly in the accounting side, as we have operated on an obligation-based budget for years. Hence, the Department needs to have a more organized and systematic. accounting procedure in order to improve the overall management of its fiscal resources and to boost its Performance Governance System (PGS) scorecard in terms of Absorptive Capacity (AC) and Disbursement Rate (OR). To this end, all officials and employees who have completed their respective offidal travel orders are directed to submit the documents for reimbursement of transportation and daily travel expenses within 30 days upon arrival to their offical stations. Claims for reimbursement submitted beyond the said period will not be processed. This directive shall take effect immediately and be strictly enforced to all concerned.
