Fiscal Responsibility
Is the most basic the act of creating, optimizing and maintaining a balanced
budget. People can do this independently, certainly, as can organizations of any size or
format; (single, partnership or corporation in most cases, though, this term is used in
the context of corporate spending and governmental finance

The Dual Role of the Accounting System
• The information provided by the financial statements are bases for making decisions.
A government accounting system basically serves two purposes: accountability and
management requirements.
The Dual Role of the Accounting System
b. Accountability
• In government, money is made available and expended to serve the public good. In
here, accounting and financial management systems are established as key points of
control. Accountability requirements are satisfied in part by internal controls dealing
with the handling of financial transactions. Such controls are set up to ensure that all
financial transactions are handled in compliance with applicable laws and regulations,
and that all assets, funds and resources are safeguarded against waste, loss or
improper use.
The Dual Role of the Accounting System
c. Management requirements
• Government accounting is an integral element of the public finance system. It is
relevant to management for decision-making in the areas of planning, budgeting and
a basis for internal control. The accounting system provides data useful for
administrative control of program operations and for the evaluation of planned
performance and accomplishment of program objectives. Government accounting is
seen mainly as an accountability device for public receipts and expenditures.
Performance measurement and managerial functions seem, however, to be
neglected.

Comparison of
Government
and
Commercial
Accounting
Similarities:
Commercial and government accounting are similar in many ways, based on the
following aspects:
1. Both are concerned with controlling and reporting on financial position, results of
operations and changes in financial position.
2. Both emphasize relevance, reliability, comparability, consistency, materiality,
understandability,
historical cost information, and completed transactions.
3. Both are concerned with safeguarding assets, assigning stewardship responsibility for
individual resources, and providing information for internal and external decision making.
Similarities:
4. Both apply the following accounting principles:
- double-entry, that for every entry made to the debit side of the account/s, an entry or
entries for a corresponding amount will be made to the credit side of an account/s.
- accrual basis of accounting under which transactions are recognized when they occur,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
- mechanics of accounting procedures where transactions are recorded from data
contained in the accounting documents. The information is first placed in the books of
original entry (journal) from which it is posted in the general ledger and subsidiary ledgers.
-proper classification of account to facilitate the preparation of the financial statements and
the conduct of audit.
Differences:
Although there are many similarities between commercial and governmental
accounting, there are also certain basic differences which stem from the
following factors:
a. Purpose – lack of profit motive in government. Government exists to render service to the
public at the lowest possible cost while a private business enterprise exists to
maximize economic profit. These profits are retained for public use aside from
rendering public service.
b. Ownership – government obtains most of financing from involuntary taxpayer resource
providers, and every citizen may be said to have a “share” in government
assets but no individual can dispose of his “shares” and realize a return from
it.
Differences:
c. Management – the necessity of complying with legal provisions. Government transactions
are governed by specific laws, rules and regulations which result in
limitations imposed under which revenue may be earned, debts are
incurred and expenditures made. An accounting system of a government
unit is designed to show not only financial position and operations but also
the extent of compliance with legal provisions.
d. Income – The government derives its income mostly from taxes and fees that the estimated
amount of which is made as the basis of allotting the national budget to different
agencies. Limitations on the ways by which the government may secure and use
its income require the use of fund accounting so that money is spent for the
specific purpose for which it was granted.

Journalize transactions
• It is an accounting record in which business transactions
are entered in a chronological order. The journal is
commonly referred to as the book of original entry.
• Each entry in the journal is called a journal entry and
represents a different business transaction. Each
transaction is recorded only once as a debit and a credit.
Every journal entry involves a three-step process:
· Identify the accounts involved with an event or
transaction.
· Determine whether each account increased or
decreased.
· Determine the amount by which each account was
affected
Steps of the accounting cycle
· Earned revenues not yet recorded as assets and income at the end of the
accounting period.
Examples: receivables for revenues already earned but not yet collected nor billed as
of the year end.
· Assets, portion of which shall be recorded as expense of the agency at the end of the
accounting period. Examples: prepaid expenses, bad debts and depreciation.

PROJECT, ACTIVITIES
AND PROGRAM
PROJECT, ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAM
• The objective of projects, activities, and programs describes the various stages of the
planning process in the framework of Results Based Management. The document includes
directions on how to integrate and execute this method in real-world settings. It explains
the major components of RBM as well as references to the agency's concerns.
• Philippine government aims to improve the lives of vulnerable people by harnessing the
power of humanity affected by dangers, disasters, or other barriers to their well-being.
There is frequently an unequal power balance between humanitarian groups and the
people they aim to serve, as well as a lack of regulation in humanitarian practice. Results-
based approaches to job management can enable them to fulfill this duty effectively and
fairly.
PROJECT, ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAM
• Results and objectives can be classified according to their level of importance, with the
lower-level objectives defining the changes that need to occur in order for the higher-
level objectives to be achieved. By setting out in advance the intended results of an
intervention and ways in which to measure whether they are achieved or not, it can be
seen more clearly whether a difference has genuinely been made for the people
concerned.
• The projects, activities and programs can be used to implement a results-based approach
that help and define the design and management of an intervention. The phases are
broadly progressive, with each one leading to the next and also interrelated and may at
times overlap. The duration of activities is important in relation to each phase will vary
depending on the context.
PROJECT, ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAM
• Initial assessment – may be needed to obtain supplementary information during the
planning phase. This phase is a process to understand the current situation and find out
whether or not an intervention is required. This is done by identifying the key factors
influencing the situation including problems and their causes, as well as the needs,
interests, capacities and constraints of the different stakeholders.
• Planning – takes into consideration the needs, interests, resources, mandates and capacities of
the implementing organization and various stakeholders. At the end of planning phase, a
project plan is ready to be implemented.
• During implementation of projects, activities and programs are carried out to achieve the
intended results (objectives) to each particular area of intervention with detailed guidance on
implementation can therefore be found in manuals.
Implementation and Monitoring
The results of the intervention may vary from time to time depends on the variables and
factors at stake, but it is very important to understand the fundamentals of intervention that
can be a key in addressing the problems that the administration will face.

Strategic planning also includes choosing and designing a framework which sets
out the best courses of action to achieve the stated objectives.
Operational Planning
Operational planning is the process of determining how the objectives spelt out in
the strategic plan will be achieved “on the ground”. It usually covers the short term
(between several months and three years).
A plan is the highest level of operational planning (e.g., for a geographical area
or for a technical area) which several groups’ programs (and their respective projects,
activities, etc.) with a view to achieve part of an organization’s strategic objectives.
A program is a set of coordinated projects implemented to meet specific
objectives within defined time, cost and performance parameters. Programs aimed at
achieving a common goal under a common entity (country plan, operation, alliance, etc.).
An activity is a combination of several tasks, all of which target the same
objective. This is the lowest level of actions that need to be planned. Tasks are the simplest
actions that make up activities.
Planning Phase
It is an intervention’s intended results (objectives), the inputs and activities
needed to accomplish them, the indicators to measure their achievement, and the key
assumptions that can affect the achievement of the results (objectives).
• Identifying the main strengths, interests, needs, constraints and opportunities of the
implementing team and of key stakeholders.
• Identifying the problems that need to be solved and their causes and consequences.
• Development of objectives involves on the identified problems and verifying the cause-
effect relationships in order to achieve the main objective.
Analysis stage aims to understand in more detail the information gathered during
the assessment phase. The conclusions and recommendations of the assessment should be
used as the basis for a more detailed analysis of the problems to be tackled.

2. DESIGN STAGE
• Design stage involves refining the intervention’s objectives, identifying the assumptions,
indicators and means of measuring them, and developing a summary of activities.
• This involves determining the sequence of activities, estimating their duration, setting
milestones and assigning responsibilities.

THE BUDGET
PROCESS
Learning Objectives
The National Budget is crafted with the primary objective of bringing about
a positive transformation through the implementation of successful change and
development towards the achievement of providing for the life of people based on
credible and disciplined policies guarantees for long-term fiscal sustainability. The key
to sustaining the country’s growth is to ensure that our limited resources from
improved revenue collections and sustainable borrowings are the country’s strategic
priorities of the government.
T h e N at i o n a l B u d get
Budget
• Is the government’s plan for a year. It is a table of/ schedule of expenditures, based
on either obligation or cash concepts and the corresponding sources of financing,
either from revenues, borrowings, or cash drawdown. Eventually, it is a toll that
enables the government to achieve its development agenda.
• Budgeting for the national government involves four (4) distinct phases: budget
preparation, budget legislation or authorization, budget execution or
implementation and budget accountability.
*BUDGET
CYCLE
*Budget Cycle
There are four phases in managing the national Budget.
Budget Preparation
Budget Legislation
Budget Execution
Budget Accountability
During the preparation phase, the Executive prepares the proposed National Budget. This
is followed by the legislation phase where the Congress authorizes the General
Appropriations Act. In the execution phase, agencies utilize their approved budgets and
during the accountability phase, the executive monitors and evaluates the use of the
budget.
I
*BUDGET
PREPARATION
BUDGET PREPARATION
This starts with the Budget Call and ends with the President's submission of the
proposed budget to Congress.
• For the first time in history, the National Budget for 2013 will be
prepared using a breakthrough "bottom-up" approach. As
opposed to the conventional way of allocating resources from
top to bottom, grassroots communities will be engaged in
designing the National Budget.
• The Aquino government, through the Cabinet Cluster on
Human Development and Poverty Reduction, has identified
300 to 400 of the poorest municipalities and will engage these
in crafting community-level poverty reduction and
empowerment plans. This initial salvo of "bottom-up"
budgeting will focus on rural development programs and the
conditional cash transfer program, and will thus involve DA,
DAR, DENR, DSWD, DepEd and DoH. These agencies will then
include the community plans in their proposed budgets.
Along these Cabinet Members will make commitments on programs and projects that they
will deliver. These decisions and commitments are then summarized in a budget priority framework that
will guide all agencies in crafting their respective Budget proposals and priorities.
Once the department and agencies submit their Agency Budget Ceiling (ABC) to the
DBM, the latter will call technical Budget Hearings where the agencies defend their proposed budgets
before a technical panel of DBM, based on performance indicators on output targets and absorptive
capacity.
The recommendations are presented before Executive Review Board which is composed
of the DBM Secretary and Senior officials.
DBM then consolidates the recommended agency budgets and recommendations into a
National Expenditure Program (NEP) and a Budget Expenditures and Sources of Financing
(BESF). Heads of major departments are invited to this meeting.
6th PRESENTATION to PRESIDENT and CABINET (July)
The proposed budget is presented by DBM, together with the DBCC, to the President
and the Cabinet for further refinements or reprioritization. After the President and Cabinet approve
the proposed National Expenditure Plan, the DBM prepares and finalizes the budget documents to
be submitted to Congress.
Budget Expenditures and Sources of Financing (BESF)-mandated by the constitution, this contains
the macroeconomic assumptions, public sector context, breakdown of the expenditures
and funding sources for the fiscal year and two previous years.
National Expenditure Program (NEP) - this contains the details of spending for each department and
agency by program, activity or project, and is submitted in the form of a proposed General
Appropriations Act.
Documents included in the President Budget:
1. Book of Outputs - seeks to show the link between the budget and the
outcomes and outputs from the government activities.
*Budget
Legislation
B U D G E T P R E PA R AT I O N
Government funds shall only be spent in pursuance of an appropriation called the "budget authorization
phase". This starts upon the House Speaker’s receipt of the President’s budget and ends with the President’s
approval of the GAA.
1st House Deliberations (August to November)
- In plenary, the GAB is presented and defended by the Appropriations Committee and Sub-Committee
Chairmen, and the GAB is approved on 2nd and 3rd reading before transmission to the Senate.
2nd Senate Deliberations (August to November)
- Budget deliberations in the Senate formally begin after the House of Representatives transmits the GAB.
The Senate Finance Committee and Sub-Committee usually start hearings while the House is still in the
process of deliberating and thereafter approves on 2nd and 3rd reading.
3rd Bicameral Deliberations
- After both Houses of Congress have finished their deliberations, the Committee will discuss the
conflicting provisions of the House and Senate versions of GAB.
4th Ratification and Enrollment
- The harmonized or “Bicam” version is then submitted to both houses, which will then vote to
ratify the final GAB for submission to the president. Once submitted to the President for his
approval, the GAB is considered enrolled
5th The Veto Message
- The President and DBM review the GAB and prepare a Veto Message, where the budget
items subjected to direct veto or conditional implementation are identified, and where
general observation are made. Under the Constitution, the GAB is the only legislative measure
where the President can impose a line-veto.
6th Enactment - December
- The budget legislation phase ends when the General Appropriation Act (GAA) is signed by
the President as law. Ideally, enactment should happen not later than December 31 of the
GAA’s fiscal year. Otherwise, the previous year’s budget is reenacted in part, if the new
budget is approved not approved on time, it is re-enacted in full if no new budget is
approved at all.

*Budget
Execution
A process by which the financial resources made available
to an agency are directed and controlled toward achieving
the purposes and objects for which budgets were
approved.

Budget
Accountability
* B u d get A c c o u nta b i l i t y
This phase happens alongside the Budget execution phase. Through budget accountability, the DBM
monitors the efficiency of fund utilization, assesses agency performance and provides a vital basis for reforms
and new policies.
- Agencies are held accountable not only for how they use public funds ethically, but also on how they attain
performance targets and outcomes using available resources.
- Submitted by agencies on a monthly and quarterly basis. Required reports that show how agencies used their
funds and which identify their corresponding physical accomplishments.
3 Review of Agency Performance
rd
- The DBM regularly reviews the financial and physical performance of agencies. Actual utilization funds and
physical accomplishments as indicated in the agencies BFARS’s are evaluated against their targets as
identified via OPIF and in the agency’s BEDs.
4th Audit
- Auditing is not within the DBM’s jurisdiction and instead lodged under COA. Nonetheless,
auditing is critical in ensuring agency accountability in the use of public funds. DBM uses COA’s
audit reports in confirming agency performance, determining budgetary levels for agencies and
addressing issues in fund usage.
So when we say,
The government fiscal policies on budget affects the economy through the following
macroeconomic indicators (persistent rise in the general price level of goods and services):
- Increase in the GDP growth (measures the total output within the geographic boundaries of
the country, regardless of the nationality of the entities producing the output.
- Increase in inflation rate
- Increase in merchandise imports
- Increase in interest rates
- Depreciation in foreign exchange rate
The Budget and the TRAIN
To fund the priority social services and infrastructure programs, the Tax
Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law transform the current complex and
unjust tax system to one that is simpler, fairer and most efficient way to promote fund
collection which aims to raise the significant revenues in support for the spending on
low income families and individuals.
Of the total gains from TRAIN, 70% will fund infrastructure projects (Build, Build,
Build Program – concreting of national and local roads, road access to isolated
barangays and sitios and irrigation of farm lands ) while 30% will go to social services
(program for sugar farmers and social mitigating features which is the health and
education for a 100% enrollment and completion rates for all levels, classroom built and
teachers hired and establishing hospital and upgrading local hospitals)
Fe at u re s o f T R A I N
Reduction of income taxes for 99% of income tax payers on the 13th month pay and
other bonuses amounting to P90,000 are tax exempt.
Broadening of the consumption tax base
Promotion of a healthier lifestyle as sugar-sweetened beverages are taxed
(additional P6 per liter for drinks using sugar and artificial sweetener and P12 per liter
for drinks using high fructose corn syrup ) but with exception to 3-1 coffee, milk and
100% natural juices.
Protection of the environment by increasing the excise tax on dirty fuel.
Updating of the excise tax on automobiles, coal, cosmetics and cigarettes.
Government spending can be classified using the Classification of the Functions of
the Government (COFOG) system which takes considerations to the nature of the
expenditure of an agency.
Defense Education
• Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) – this supports the operations
of the government agencies, including expenses for supplies and materials,
transportation and travel, utilities, and repairs.
• Capital Outlays (CO) Financial Expenses (FinEx) – expenditures for the purchase of
goods and services.
• NCR • Region 4B

• Region 10 • Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL)
• Region 8
• Region 1
Special Purpose Fund - This refer to appropriation in the National Budget allocated for specific
purposes, covering lump sums and disaggregated. There are lump sums because recipients of
these funds (departments, agencies or programs/projects of National Government) have not yet
been disaggregated during budget preparation and legislation.
Disaggregated Funds
- Budgetary Support to Government Corporations as assistance of the National Government to
Government-Owned and/or Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) in the form of equity and
subsidy.
- Allocation to LGUs ( Special Shares in the Proceed of National Taxes, Local Government
Support Fund and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority
- Miscellaneous Personnel Benefits Fund cover creation of new positions for teachers, policemen,
firemen, and jail officers in the government; compensation adjustment, and other personnel
benefits
- Pension and Gratuity Fund for the payment of pension, retirement and terminal leave benefits,
and monetization of leave credits of government employees.
Lump-Sum Funds
- National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (NDRRMF) for disaster risk
reduction, mitigation, prevention and preparedness activities.
- Contingent Fund – new and urgent programs projects that need to be implemented or
paid during the year.
- Allocation to Local Government Units (LGUs) corresponding to their share in the national
revenue collection.

Summary of
Basic
Recording
Criteria in Keeping the Accounts of Government
The following are the criteria in keeping the accounts of the government:
Simplicity. The accounting system should include those records that serve
significant purpose. Excessive details and unnecessary records should be
avoided. There should be no evidence of “accounting for accounting’s sake.”
Usefulness of financial data. The data can be used for the purposes of
accountability or management. To serve these purposes, the data must be
promptly presented, properly organized, clearly reported, impartial and its
significance and usefulness clearly understood by all stakeholders, so that they
are effectively utilized for management purposes.
Recording of Transactions
Terminologies
Financial reporting - directed at the public rather than investors.
Fund - self-balancing set of accounts recording cash and other financial resources.
Fund distinguished from Cash and Appropriation
Cash is the sum of money in the treasury or in the bank and is only one
type of asset composing a fund.
When using the term fund, it should not be confused with cash and
appropriation.
A fund consists of all resources, including cash, which have been created
or designated for a particular purpose only.
Appropriation
Appropriation is 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
a specified purpose.
No expenditures may be made out of certain funds, i.e., the general fund, without an
appropriation.
• Programmed New General Appropriations refer with the landmark shift to cash-
based budgeting which limits new appropriations to only program, activities
and projects (PAPs) for the year allocated for department/agencies and
Special Purpose Funds.
Terminologies
Transactions are recognized when they occur, regardless of the timing of
accompanying cash flows, using the accrual method of accounting.
Revenues are recognized and quantified in the accounting period in which they
are earned. If an expense is measurable, it is recognized at the time it is incurred.
The accrual method of accounting is used to accurately match income and
spending in the appropriate period.
Transactions are only recognized when cash changes hands under the cash basis
of accounting. When cash is received, revenues are recorded in the accounts,
and when cash is dispensed, expenditures are documented.
Assets and liabilities not deriving from cash transactions are not recognized in
cash basis financial statements.
Important Accounting Basis/Methods, Definitions, and Concepts
The amount of money paid for products and services is referred to as expenditure.
It also involves the enactment of a legal responsibility to pay.
The cost of goods and services spent in the process of achieving the
organization's goals is referred to as expenses.
