Review of Process
01. Programs, Sub-Programs (PREXC)
In accordance with the thrust of the President
Program Expenditure Classification (PREXC) which is incorporated in the budget of the President for a particular
fiscal year
Disbursement Authority
If the allotment is the authority to obligate, before payments we have to consider the Disbursement authority
Before any check or disbursement will be made after an obligation or an expenditure is obligated, the
accountant has to verify if the authority to disburse is already received by the agency, before the
accountant will sign in the disbursement voucher for availability of funds.

1. Department of Budget and Management – monitors the release of the budget to Agencies; controls cash that
will be released or given as an authority for Agency to spend/use for its payments of its obligations; Issues NCA
to the LBP; Issues ANCAI to Agencies
2. Agency
3. Bureau of Treasury – has the banking function; controls how much is the money of the National Government in
the National Treasury;
Assuming DBM knows that Agency A needs 10 million, this 10 million is intended for Agency A to finance its
expenditures to achieve its activities/plans being approved by congress and in the GAA.
DBM will inform the BTr that out of the 100 billion cash of the National Government, 10 million will go to Agency A
so the BTr on the other hand will have to inform the depository bank or servicing bank of Agency A, i.e., the LBP.
Assuming also that LBP has the funds of 100 billion that was deposited for Government funds. DBM knowing that 10
million has to be allocated to Agency A, it will issue the Notice of Cash Allocation to the LBP. Thus, in the books of
LBP, the 10 million funds will be removed and transferred to the account of Agency A.
For Agency A to know that they has already 10 million in its servicing bank, DBM will issue to Agency A the Advice of
Notice of Cash Allocation issued, this is the second document that DBM will issue, the first being the NCA to the LBP.
Once the ANCAI is received by Agency A the obligations/expenditures which have been obligated by Agency A are
now ready to be paid. It can now issue checks.

Process Flow – receipt of the Advice of Notice of Cash Allocation Issued (ANCAI)
DBM – Central Office – Regional Office – Provincial Office and/or Operating Unit
On the first scenario, the Central Office, out of the ANCAI received will issue NTA to the Regional Office, it will
download the money to the Regional Office and the documentation for this is the Notice of Transfer Allocation.
If it is the central office or the regional office doing the downloading of money to another office it is the NTA, but if
that information comes from the DBM that is the ANCAI.

This mode of disbursement is made through the Journal Entry Voucher (JEV) issued by the Bureau of Treasury
(BTr) to the availing/implementing agency to record payment of goods and services made directly by the lending
institution to the supplier or contractor.
Agency Books:
Communication Equipment 500,000
Accounts Payable 500,000
To record receipt of PPE procured through direct payment scheme
*the agency books will not pay, or is not the one who will pay the supplier but instead it will be the Bureau of
Treasury. However, the communication equipment is recorded in the agency’s book
Closing entry: entry after the BTr paid the asset or issued a check
Accounts Payable 500,000
Subsidy from National Government 500,000
To recognize receipt of NCAA and payment of payable based on the Withdrawal Authority (WA)
advice of payment or any proof of disbursement received from the Foreign Lending Institution
*once the payment is made by the BTr, the foreign supplier will issue the corresponding official receipt to the agency
books, that is the time that the agency accountant will close the accounts payable, because there is now a proof that the
asset is paid, not with the funds of the agency but through the BTr.
Issuance of check:
*Loans Payable – Foreign 500,000
Cash – MDS, Regular 500,000
To recognize payment on account of the NGA
*Foreign because the assumption here is that the equipment is purchased from a foreign supplier, not a supplier stationed in
the Ph
An authorization issued by the DBM to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and other agencies with foreign
posts to utilize their collections retained by their Foreign Service Posts to cover operating requirements but not
to exceed the released allotment to the said post.
This happens to the agencies outside or which has stationed outside the Philippines. Other agencies would be
DOLE and DTI.
Whatever collection received by the foreign posts DFA (for example) will be used by the DFA in that foreign
country, it will not be deposited in the Ph meaning it will directly be used in the US (for example) to pay for
expenses in relation to the operation of the DFA in the USA but that foreign post cannot spend beyond what it
has collected.
This disbursement authority is not applicable to Regional or Central offices of National Government Agencies, its
only applicable to those agencies with foreign posts.
Ceiling:
*Cash – Constructive Income Remittance 100,000
Subsidy from National Government 100,000
To recognize receipt of Cash Disbursement Ceiling from DBM
*recall in previous discussion, this is Cash-MDS, Regular if its ANCAI

Once the GAA is there, the agencies are already authorized to incur applications. In the agency level, that is the
Allotments – the authority to obligate. After being obligated, next is the payment – Disbursements. In
disbursements we have disbursements authority and available cash.
Following, the agency accountant has to abide with the basic requirements applicable to all types of
disbursements. And these requirements may be summarized into an acronym called ALAS.
Supporting Documents
- the disbursement voucher should be supported by supporting documents appearing legal and proper. It
has been said that the supporting documents for Government transactions are voluminous, to minimize
the volume of supporting documents the Commission on Audit issued COA Circular 2012-001 and this is
amended by COA Circular No. 2013-001 (minimum documentary requirements in specific transactions).
- in these circulars, it lists and gives the minimum documentary requirements. All these minimum
documents must be attached to the disbursement voucher, to pass the audit as far as documentary
requirements are concerned. An accountant is not precluded from requiring additional requirements to
show the validity of the disbursement or the transaction.
>>> Lecture 7
Modes of Disbursements
Payment – the giving of an amount from the Payor (Government of the Ph represented by the Regional office of a
National Government Agency) to the Payee (An employee, an Officer of that particular Regional office, or a Third
party supplier or individual)
The ALAS would still have to be considered because the voucher will not be signed by the accountant if ALAS is not
existing. But when we talk about approved Disbursement voucher, the approval is with the Regional Director.
Modes of Disbursements:
A disbursement made for the remittance of taxes; this is a controlled mechanism for minimizing anomalies as far
as remittance of taxes is concerned.
The form here is designed by BIR and prenumbered for control purposes, the form will be filled out by the
agency as to the amount and kind of tax and submitted to the bank (e.g. LBP) then the bank will remit the
amount to the account of the Treasurer of the Ph under the BIR.

Incurrence of obligation for Salaries and Wages, the net amount is 159,800 which is good for 1month, usually
the payment is divided into two – 1 st half is 79,900 and another 79,900 for the 2 nd half.
What we are presenting now in the RAOD is the credit to Cash – MDS, Regular, that is already disbursements.
Only 69,900 was in the disbursements for Salaries because the other 10,000 was in the PERA. Once we add the
139,800 and 20,000 that is 159,800 which is the total of credits to Cash – MDS, Regular, that is total of
payments/disbursements.
As far as PERA is concerned, it’s due and demandable 20,000 equals to total of disbursements 20,000, meaning
the obligations of PERA had already been paid.
Now the problem is in the Salaries because the Due and demandable is 180,000 but the disbursements are
139,800, a difference of 40,200 which is the unpaid. If you look in the JE in the credit the Due to O&E of
159,800 has already been paid which leaves other Dues totaling to 40,200. Because 20,000 has not been
remitted to BIR, 16,200 not remitted to GSIS, 2,000 not yet remitted to Pag-IBIG, and other 2,000 not yet
remitted to PhilHealth.
>>> Lecture 11
In the previous lectures, the JE presented refer to payment of Salaries whether it is through the ATM of the
employees or through individual checks. Of course, if ATM, ADA system is used.
In this lecture our payment of Salaries will be coming from a Cash advance, so there will be a cash advance
granted the cashier or the disbursing officer. The Disbursing Officer is designated to disburse, the cashier
that is an appointment allowing to disburse or to collect.
Before the month ends, the Cashier/DO has to prepare a Report of Cash Disbursements, this report is usually
prepared for the Cash advances. The Report of Cash Disbursements will be supported with the Signed Payroll.
The RCD is the basis of the accountant to prepare the entry for the Liquidation of the Cash advance – referring
to the Advances for Payroll.
That is a cash advance account that should be liquidated within 30 days otherwise the Salaries of the Cashier/DO
that does not liquidate their cash advance will be put on hold.
To close the amounts: Liquidation of the cash advances
Due to Officers and Employees 159,800
Advances to Payroll 159,800

Accounting for Disbursements from Cash Advances Granted for Operating Expenses
Usually in the case when DBM does not release funds to the provincial office, so there funds will come from
the regional office
The release of the amount to the field offices is taken up in the books of the regional office as a cash advance,
this cash advance is subject to replenishment – it can request replenishment from the regional office
In the books of the field offices there is no journal entry since they does not have complete set of books
