INTRODUCTION
Recent developments brought about by the Philippine Public Financial Management Reforms
and significant changes in the field of accounting prompted the harmonization of the existing accounting
standards with the international accounting standards. This Commission revised the New Government
Accounting System (NGAS) Manual prescribed under Commission on Audit (COA) Circular No.
2002-002 dated June 18, 2002 to make it responsive to dynamic changes and modern technology.
Legal Basis. The Government Accounting Manual (GAM) is prescribed by COA pursuant to Article IX-D,
Section 2 par. (2) of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines which provides that:
The Commission on Audit shall have exclusive authority, subject to the limitations in this Article, to
define the scope of its audit and examination, establish the techniques and methods required therefore
, and promulgate accounting and auditing rules and regulations, including those for the prevention and
disallowance of irregular, unnecessary, excessive, extravagant, or unconscionable expenditures, or uses
of government funds and properties". (Underscoring supplied)
Coverage. This Manual presents the basic accounting policies and principles in accordance with the
Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standards (PPSAS) adopted thru COA Resolution No. 2014003 dated January 24, 2014 and other pertinent laws, rules and regulations. It includes the Revised
Chart of Accounts (RCA) prescribed under COA Circular No. 2013-002 dated January 30, 2013,
as amended; the accounting procedures, books, registries, records, forms, reports, and financial
statements; and illustrative accounting entries. It shall be used by all National Government
Agencies (NGAs) in the:
(a). preparation of the general purpose financial statements in accordance with the PPSAS and
other financial reports as may be required laws, rules and regulations; and
(b) reporting of budget, revenue and expenditure in accordance with laws, rules and
Definition of Terms. For the purpose of this Manual, the terms used as stated below shall be construed to
mean as follows:
a.
Accrual basis means a basis of accounting under which transactions and other events are recognized
when they occur (and not only when cash or its equivalent is received or paid). Therefore, the transactions
and events are recognized in the accounting records and recognized in the financial statements of the
periods to which they relate. The elements recognized under accrual accounting are assets, liabilities, net
assets/equity, revenue, and expenses.
b.
Assets are resources controlled by an entity as a result of past events, and from which future economic
benefits or service potential are expected to flow to the entity.
c.
Contributions from owners means future economic benefits or service potential that have been
contributed to the entity by parties external to the entity, other than those that result in liabilities of the
entity, that establish a financial interest in the net assets/equity of the entity, which:
1.
conveys entitlement both to (i) distributions of future economic benefits or service potential by
the
entity during its life, such distributions being at the discretion of the owners or their representatives;
and to (ii) distributions of any excess of assets over liabilities in the event of the entity being wound
up; and/or
2.
can be sold, exchanged, transferred, or redeemed.
d..Entity refers to a government agency, department or operating/field unit. It may be referred to in this
GAM as an agency.
eExpenses are decreases in economic benefits or service potential during the reporting period in the form
of outflows or consumption of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in decreases in net assets or
equity, other than those relating to distributions to owners.
f. Government Accounting encompasses the processes of analyzing, recording, classifying, summarizing
and communicating all transactions involving the receipt and disposition of government funds and
property, and interpreting the results thereof. (Sec. 109, Presidential Decree (P.D.) No. 1445)
h. Government Budget is 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-economic objectives. The government
budget also refers to the income, expenditures and sources of borrowings of the National Government
(NG) that are used to achieve national objectives, strategies and programs.
i.
Liabilities are firm obligations of the entity arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected
to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits or service potential.
j. Net assets/equity is the residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all its liabilities.
k. Revenue is the gross inflow of economic benefits or service potential during the reporting period when
those inflows result in an increase in net assets/equity, other than increases relating to contributions
from owners.
l. Revenue funds comprise all funds derived from the income of any agency of the government and
available for appropriation or expenditure in accordance with law. (Section 3, P.D. No. 1445)
unless prior to that act, he notified the superior officer in writing of the illegality of the payment,
application, or disposition. The officer directing any illegal payment or disposition of the funds
or property shall be primarily liable for the loss, while the AO who fails to serve the required notice
shall be secondarily liable. (Sec. 106, P.D. No. 1445)
4.
When a loss of government funds or property occurs while they are in transit or the loss is caused
by
fire, theft, or other casualty or force majeure, the officer accountable therefore or having custody
thereof shall immediately notify the Commission or the auditor concerned and, within 30 days or such
longer period as the Commission or auditor may in the particular case allow, shall present his
application for relief, with the available supporting evidence. Whenever warranted by the evidence,
credit for the loss shall be allowed. An officer who fails to comply with this requirement shall not be
relieved of liability or allowed credit for any loss in the settlement of his accounts.(Sec. 73, PD.1445).
Fundamental Principles for Disbursement of Public Funds. Section 4 of P.D. No. 1445, the
Government Auditing Code of the Philippines, provides that all financial transactions and operations of
any government entity shall be governed by the following fundamental principles:
a.. No money shall be paid out of any public treasury or depository except in pursuance of an appropriation
law or other specific statutory authority.
b. Government funds or property shall be spent or used solely for public purposes.
c. Trust funds shall be available and may be spent only for the specific purpose for which the trust was

generally accepted government accounting principles in accordance with the PPSAS and pertinent laws,
rules and regulations;

PPSAS 24;
d. RCA prescribed by COA;
e. double entry bookkeeping;
f. financial statements based on accounting and budgetary records; and
g. fund cluster accounting
.
How to Distinguish Disbursement from Expenditures?
Expenditures are the obligations incurred by the Agency. It includes both the amount actually
paid and those incurred and recorded as liabilities to be paid in the future. While Disbursements are
payments made for such government obligations by cash or check.
Typical transactions for disbursements include the following major classes of payments:
A. Current Operating Expenses
1. Personal Services
and approving officials shall ensure that the disbursements of government funds are legal and
in conformity with applicable rules and regulations;
6..Submission of proper evidence to establish validity of the claim. The Head of the Requesting
Unit shall certify on the necessity and legality of charges to allotments under his/her
supervision as well as the validity, propriety and legality of supporting documents. All
payments of government obligations and payables shall be covered by Disbursement Vouchers
(DV)/Payrolls together with the original copy of the supporting documents which will serve as
basis in the evaluation of authenticity and authority of the claim. It should be cleared, however,
that the submission of the supporting documents does not preclude reasonable questions on the
funding, legality, regularity, necessity and/or economy of the expenditures or transactions; and
7.. Approval of the disbursement by the Head of Agency or by his duly authorized representative.
Disbursement or disposition of government funds or property shall invariably bear the approval
of the proper officials. The DVs/Payrolls shall be signed and approved by the head of the
agencies or his duly authorized representatives.
The agency received Notice of Cash Allocation for payment of its obligations. It maybe either for
payment of prior years or current year, the same is recorded as:

Depreciation.
PPE gradually loses its ability to provide service over the course of time. Because of this, its cost
needs to be distributed on a systematic basis over its useful life. The allocated cost is referred to as
depreciation. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized as expense unless it is
included in the carrying amount of another asset. For example, the depreciation of manufacturing plant
and equipment is included in the costs of conversion of inventories. Similarly, depreciation of PPE used
for development activities may be included in the cost of an intangible asset recognized.
The following are policies regarding depreciation of PPE:
a. There are three factors an entity must consider in determining depreciation:
1. Initial cost,
2. Useful life, and
3. Expected residual value at the end of its useful life.
b. Except for land and not recognized heritage assets, all PPE shall be depreciated.
c..Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use such as when it is in the location
and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
e..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 entity based on its operation subject to
the approval of COA. Generally, infrastructure assets have no residual value. In case, the
residual value of parts of the infrastructure assets can be determined, the policy of at least
five percent (5%) of the cost of that part shall be applied.
f. The computation of monthly depreciation expense shall be as follows:
Depreciation Expense =
l. Depreciation shall be recognized as a debit to the Depreciation Expense account and a credit to
the Accumulated Depreciation account. Accumulated Depreciation is a contra-asset account
presented in the FS as deduction from the related asset account. Depreciation expense shall be
recognized on a monthly basis.
Example: On June 5, 2014, an office equipment was purchased at P22,000 and has an estimated
useful life of 5 years and 5% residual value. Said equipment was available for use on
June 20, 2014.
Monthly Depreciation =
