Fund accounting is a system of accounting used by the non-profit entities as well as


government accounting to track the amount of cash assigned to different purposes and the
usage of that cash. The focus of fund accounting is on accountability, rather than
profitability.
The seven fund clusters used in the Philippine government:
01 Regular Agency Fund- An agency fund is an assemblage of funds that one government
agency holds on behalf of another government agency. To account for resources held by the
reporting government in a purely custodial capacity (assets equal liabilities. Agency funds
involve only the receipt, temporary investment, and remittance.
02 Foreign Assisted Projects Fund- Cooperation and partnership are typically in the form of
foreign-assisted projects (FAPs). Streamlined through the Official Development Assistance
(ODA), FAPs are projects that are wholly or partly funded by foreign sources. Funds may be in
the form of soft loans or grants (financial or in-kind), or a combination of the two. Funding is
granted on the basis of a Loan or Grant Agreement, Memorandum of Understanding, Note
Verbale, or on similar contract/instruments entered into by the beneficiary country and the donor
institution or country.
03 Special Account-Locally Funded/Domestic Grants Fund- Projects financed out of revenue
collections and domestic borrowings. These are NGAs undertakings which are carried out
within a specific time frame and the authority granted by the Ministry of the Budget to agencies
to use the receipts in carrying out specific purposes and programs in accordance with the
provisions of the trust agreement or law.
04 Special Account-Foreign Assisted/Foreign Grants Fund- These are assistance in cash or in
kind covered by agreements with foreign governments, institutions, or individuals for purposes
of financing specific projects and/or procurement of goods and services without any obligation
on the part of the donees to repay. Also, NGAs undertakings which are carried out within a
specific time frame and the authority granted by the Ministry of the Budget to agencies to use the
receipts in carrying out specific purposes and programs in accordance with the provisions of the
trust agreement or law.
05 Internally Generated Funds - refers to the creation of either tangible or intangible results
within the confines of the government. These are the funds that were not borrowed or realized
through other external means. Also, it is not constituted by the proceeds of any Loan, Debt
Issuance, Equity Issuance, Asset Sale, insurance recovery or Indebtedness of the government.
06 Business Related Funds- funds that account for city operations, which are financed and
