1. Government ing – Defined Under Section 109, of the Presidential Decree (PD) no. 1445, defines Government ing as one that encomes the process of analyzing, classifying, summarizing and communicating all transactions that are involved in the receipt and disbursement of all government funds and properties, and interpreting the results thereof. In pursuant to this definition, objectives were set to cover several areas in government operations. The need for timely preparation of financial reports in government is necessary to evaluate the performance of the different agencies of government. The result of the reports would indicate the areas that may still need improvement, as well as come up with the budgetary requirements for these agencies if needed. Public officers are managers of funds, that are entrusted to them by the national government. The financial reports would clearly show if the agencies are achieving what is mandated by them. These reports would also show the extent in the use of agency assets and resources, as well as the need for an additional infusion of funds if required. The ing data would show how the funds of government were used. This would also reveal the inflow and outflow of funds and the need for stiffer fund management and control, when necessary.

RESPONSIBILITY ING Concepts of Responsibility ing: A system that relates the financial results to a responsibility center, which provides access to cost and revenue information under the supervision of a manager having direct responsibility for its performance. RESPONSIBILITY ING -a part, segment, unit or function of a government agency, headed by a manager, who is able for a specified test of activities. 1. Responsibility ing involves accumulating and reporting data on revenues and costs o the basis of the manager’s action.
2. Evaluation of manager’s performance. 3. Responsibility ing can be used at every level of management in which conditions exist. 4. The reporting of costs and revenues under responsibility ing differs from budgeting in 2 aspects: a. A distinction between controllable and non- controllable. b. Performance reports either emphasize or include only items controllable by individual manager. 5. A responsibility reporting system involves the preparation of a report for each level of responsibility. 6. Evaluation of a manager’s performance for cost centers. 3.

Budget Procedure Government budgeting is the critical exercise of allocating revenues and borrowed funds to attain the economic and socia l goals of the country. It also entails the management of government expenditures in such a way that will create the most economic impact from the production and delivery of goods and services while ing a healthy fiscal position. Government budgeting is important because it enables the government to plan and manage its financial resources to the implementation of various programs and projects that best promote the development of the country. Through the budget, the government can prioritize and put into action its plants, programs and policies within the constraints of its financial capability as dictated by economic conditions. Budgeting for the national government involves four (4) distinct processes or phases : budget preparation, budget authorization, budget execution and ability . While distinctly separate, these processes overlap in the implementation during a budget year. Budget preparation for the next budget year proceeds while government agencies are executing the budget for the current year and at the same time engaged in budget ability and review of the past year's budget.
The preparation of the annual budget involves a series of steps that begins with the determination of the overall economic targets, expenditure levels, revenue projection and the financing plan by the Development Budget Coordinating Committee (DBCC). The DBCC is an inter-agency body composed of the DBM Secretary as Chairman and the Bangko Sentral Governor, the Secretary of the Department of Finance, the Director General of the National Economic and Development Authority and a representative of the Office of the President as . The major activities involved in the preparation of the annual national budget include the following: a. Determination of overall economic targets, expenditure levels and budget framework by the DBCC; b. Issuance by the DBM of the Budget Call which defines the budget framework; sets economic and fiscal targets; prescribe the priority thrusts and budget levels; and spells out the guidelines and procedures, technical instructions and the timetable for budget preparation; c. Preparation by various government agencies of their detailed budget estimates ranking programs, projects and activities using the capital budgeting approach and submission of the same to DBM; d. Conduct a budget hearings were agencies are called to justify their proposed budgets before DBM technical s; e. Submission of the proposed expenditure program of department/agencies/special for confirmation by department/agency heads. f. Presentation of the proposed budget levels of department/agencies/special purpose funds to the DBCC for approval. g. Review and approval of the proposed budget by the President and the Cabinet; h. Submission by the President of proposed budget to Congress. To meet the Constitutional requirement for the submission of the President's budget with 30 days from the opening of each regular session of Congress, the budget preparation phase is guided by a budget calendar.
