Government Budget
The financial plan of a government for a given period, usually for a fiscal
year, which shows what its resources are, and how they will be generated
and used over the fiscal period.
The budget is the government's key instrument for promoting its socio-ec
onomic objectives.
The governement budget also refers to the income, expenditures and sou
rces of borrowings of the National Government that are used to achieve n
ational objectives, strategies and programs.

Accounting is the LANGUAGE of BUSINESS.
Government Accounting
Encompasses the processes of analyzing, recording, classifying, summari

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
1. National Government (ex. those under the Executive Branch)
2. Local Government Units or LGUs (ex. cities and municipalities)
3. State Universities and Colleges or SUCs (ex. UP, PUP, PLM)
4. Government-owned and Controlled Corporations or GOCCs (ex. LBP,

DBP)
RESPONSIBILITY ACCOUNTING
provides access to cost and revenue information under the supervision of
a manager having a direct responsibility for its performance. It is a system
that measures the plans (by budgets) and actions (by actual results) of ea
ch responsibility center.
Responsibility Center
is a part, segment, unit or function of a government agency, headed by a
manager, who is accountable for a specified set of activities. Except for so
me, which derive most of their income from collection of taxes and fees, N
GAs are basically cost centers which primary purpose is to render service
to the public at the lowest possible cost. Cost centers are established to p
rovide each government agencys accessibility to cost information and to f
acilitate cost monitoring at any given period.
Objectives of Responsibility Accounting
ensure that all costs and revenues are properly charged/credited to the co
rrect responsibility center so that deviations from the budget can be readil
y attributed to managers accountable therefor;
provide a basis for making decisions for future operations; and
facilitate review activities, monitoring the performance of each responsibili

ty center and evaluation of the effectiveness of agencys operations.

Fair Presentation
The FSs shall present fairly the financial position, financial performance a
nd cash flows of an entity. Fair presentation requires the faithful represen
tation of the effects of transactions, other events, and conditions in accord
ance with the definitions and recognition criteria for assets, liabilities, reve
nue, and expenses set out in PPSAS. The application of PPSAS, with app
ropriate disclosures, if necessary, would result in fair presentation of the F
S.
Departure from PPSAS
In the event that Management strongly believes that compliance with the
requirement of PPSAS would result in misleading presentation that it woul
d contradict the objective of the FSs set forth in PPSAS, the entity may d
epart from that requirement if the relevant regulatory framework allo
ws, or otherwise does not prohibit, such a departure.
Going Concern
The FSs shall be prepared on a going concern basis unless there is an in
tention to discontinue the entity operation, or if there is no realistic alternat
ive but to do so.
Consistency of Presentation
The presentation and classification of items in the FSs shall be retained fr
om 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 pre
sented separately unless they are immaterial. If a line item is not materi
al, it is aggregated with other items either on the face of FSs or in the Not
es 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 re
flects the substance of the transaction or other event.
Comparative Information
Comparative information shall be disclosed with respect to the previous p
eriod 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 periods FSs.
Statement of Financial Position
An entity shall present current and non-current assets, as well as current
and non-current liabilities, as separate classifications on the face of State
ment of Financial Position.
Statement of Financial Performance
The Statement of Financial Performance (SFPer) shall include line items t
hat present the revenue, expenses and net surplus or deficit for the peri
od.
Statement of Changes in Net Assets/Equity
a. Net Income or Deficit for the period;
b. Each item of revenue and expenses for the period that, as required by Sta
ndards, is recognized directly in net assets/equity, and the total of these item
s;
c. Total revenue and expenses for the period; and
d. For each component of net assets/equity separately disclosed, the effects

of changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors recognized in acc
ordance with PPSAS 3-Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimat
es and Errors.
Statement of Cash Flows
The Statement of Cash Flows (SCF) provides information to users of FSs
a basis to assess the ability of the entity to generate cash and cash equiv
alents and to determine the entitys utilization of funds. This also provides
information on how the entity generates income authorized to be used in t
heir operation and its utilization.
Statement of Comparison of Budget and Actual Amounts
A comparison of budget and actual amounts will enhance the transparenc

y of financial reporting in government. This shall be presented by govern
ment agencies as a separate additional financial statement referred in this
Manual as the Statement of Comparison of Budget and Actual Amounts
(SCBAA).
Notes to Financial Statements
The Notes to FSs contain information in addition to that presented in the
SFP, SFPer, SCNA/E, SCF and SCBAA. Notes provide narrative descript
ions or disaggregation of items disclosed in those FSs and information ab
out items that do not qualify for recognition in those statements.
Qualitative Characteristics of Financial Reporting
An entity shall present information including accounting policies in a mann

er that meets a number of qualitative characteristics such as understand
ability, relevance, materiality, reliability and comparability. These qu
alitative characteristics are the attributes that make the information provid
ed in the FSs useful to users.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is the gross inflow of economic benefits or service potential d
uring the reporting period when those inflows result in an increase in net a
ssets/equity, other than increases relating to contributions from owners.
Revenue shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration receiv

ed or receivable. Any amount of trade discounts and volume rebates allo
wed by the entity shall be taken into account. (Par. 14-15, IPSAS 9)
Revenue Recognition
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 reco
very has ceased to be probable, is recognized as an expense (impairmen
t losses), rather than as an adjustment of the amount of revenue originally
recognized.
Entities shall evaluate the collectibility of accounts receivable on an ongoi
ng basis based on historical bad debts, customer/recipient credit-worthine
ss, current economic trends and changes in payment activity. An allowan
ce is provided for known and estimated bad debts.
Recognition and Measurement of Gifts, Donations and Goods In-
kind
On initial recognition, gifts and donations including goods in-kind are mea
sured at their fair value as at the date of acquisition, which may be asce
rtained by reference to an active market, or by appraisal.

Inventories
Weighted average costing

Perpetual
a. At the lower of cost and net realizable value. However, where inventories are acqui
red through a non-exchange transaction, their costs shall be measured at their fair value
as at the date of acquisition; (Pars. 15-16, PPSAS 12)
b. At the lower of cost and current replacement cost where they are held for distributi
on at no charge or for a nominal charge, or for consumption in the production process of

c. In accordance with PPSAS 27, inventories comprising agricultural produce that an ent
ity has harvested from its biological assets shall be measured on initial recognition at the
ir fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest. (Par. 29, PPSAS 12)
Semi-expendable Property
Tangible items below the capitalization threshold of P15,000 shall be
accounted as semi-expendable property. The following policies apply as f
ollows:
a. Semi-expendable property which were recognized as PPE shall be recl

assified to the affected accounts.
b. These tangible items shall be recognized as expenses upon issue to th

e end-user.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Residual Value is the equivalent to at least five percent (5%) of the c
ost 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 al
ready 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 o
n their operation.
A residual value equivalent to at least five percent (5%) of the cost shall
be adopted unless a more appropriate percentage is determined by the e
ntity based on its operation subject to the approval of COA. Generally, infr
astructure assets have no residual value. In case, the residual value of p
arts of the infrastructure assets can be determined, the policy of at least fi
ve percent (5%) of the cost of that part shall be applied.
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 Po
sition.
a. Items with individual values below the threshold but which work togethe
r in the form of a group of network asset whose total value exceeds the t
hreshold shall be recognized as part of the primary PPE. (Example: com
puter network, PABX system, sewerage system).
Applying the Capitalization Threshold of P15,000
Expenditures incurred on purchasing, developing, and operating hardwar

e, like web servers, staging servers, production servers and internet conn
ections of a website is accounted for as PPE if the total value of the prima
ry asset (communications networks) and these items is within the threshol
d of P15,000 and above.
b. This threshold shall be applied on an individual asset or per item bas

is. Each item within the bulk acquisition with aggregate or total value of P
PE, such as library books, computer peripherals and small items of equip
ment, will need to meet the capitalization threshold to be recognized as P
PE.
Depreciation
The straight line method of depreciation shall be adopted unless anothe
r method is more appropriate for entity operation. That method is applied
consistently from period to period unless there is a change in the expecte
d pattern of consumption of those future economic benefits or service pot
ential.
Heritage Assets
Heritage assets are those assets which have historical, cultural and envir
onmental 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 o
f art.
Service Concession Arrangement

a grantor and an operator in which:
1. The operator uses the service concession asset to provide a public ser
vice on behalf of the grantor for a specified period of time; and
2. The operator is compensated for its services over the period of the serv
ice concession arrangement.
Concession Arrangements Provided under R.A. No. 7718
