at meeting the government's immediate need for a functioning Full GIFMIS for use by all agencies after 5 years
GIFMIS with minimum changes in or slightest re-engineering of PFM
business processes and possible reassignment of roles and

cover the development and/or enhancement and implementation of
integrated web-based applications based on existing web-based and
client-server systems for budget preparation, execution, accounting,
reporting and monitoring that were developed and/or implemented by
the three oversight agencies - Commission on Audit (COA),
Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Department
of Finance/ Bureau of the Treasury (DOF/BTr) - and some
implementing
agencies. Track 1 is estimated to be completed in eight (8) months.
The creation of the Project Management Office (PMO) will assist the
PFM Committee in the implementation and management
of the PFM Reforms Program.

Track II - development of GIFMIS Version 2, which aims at


supporting fundamental reforms of PFM business processes,
reassignment of roles and responsibilities over financial transaction
processing, oversight and
reporting, and corresponding organizational structural changes.

Under Track II, the pre-requisites or core elements of an integrated


FMIS shall be put in place such as the Treasury Single Account
(TSA), unified Chart of Accounts, budget classification structures,
performance standards, organizational arrangements, and
reengineered business/ functional processes. Consistent with the
timeframe in the PFM Reforms roadmap, this track shall be done in
five (5) years, from 2011 to 2015, and by 2016, GIFMIS Version II
shall be fully operational.

integration with the systems of the government-servicing banks, which
would

The NPS will also eventually become integrated with the Government

Purchase Card which they can use, in lieu of cash, to pay for office January to June 2012
supplies and other identified items. Each Card has customized Pilot Procurement Cards system (in DBM, COA, AFP) to
restrictions as to the nature of items that it is allowed to purchase, minimize often-abused cash advances
and as to how much , and from which particular suppliers/vendors
transactions may be made.

The Purchase Card is linked to the Cashless Procurement Card


System which is an online program that collates data from the
transactions made on every Card and generates a comprehensive
and customized report accessible to authorized government agency
personnel in charge of accounting, reporting, or auditing, from the
convenience of a web browser.

The ability to make purchases without the use of cash, and the real-
time updating and collation of transaction data allow for an efficient
system of purchasing goods for government, with less room for
clerical errors, anomalies, and reporting dat that is not current.

citizen participation in the budget process, as a vital means of promoting CSOs, will craft a roadmap to expand and institutionalize
good governance participatory budgeting to the other phases of the budget cycle and

agreed upon and signed by DBM and some CSOs on September 3, 2010. improve their participation in the preparation phase of the 2012
National Budget.
Open/Participatory Governance as instrument for transparency and against
corruption has been operationalized by the Department of Budget and
Management (DBM) under its new policy of open budgeting.

As enunciated by the incumbent DBM leadership, open budgeting allows


citizen participation/involvement in the allocation of the country’s financial
resources including access to information on how these resources are
applied in government operations, programs, projects, and activities.

Through Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), citizens have been actively


involved in DBM’s open budget initiative at its Central and Regional Offices
and initially in selected vital national government agencies (NGAs) and
Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs). It is expected
that citizen engagement in government budget formulation will soon be
expanded to include all national and local government units/agencies.

accredited, and certifed based on compliance to ethical ways of doing
business and strict integrity standards.

SHINE aims to initiate a "Collective Action" among ethical


foreign and local business enterprises that are craving for
the creation of fair market conditions for all market
participants and willing to engage themselves in a
business sulture-changing process that will revolutionize
how companies do business with government and with
each other.

Specifically, SHINE will:

• Identify the key concerns/problems affecting the private


sector related to integrity and transparency in business
transactions
• Develop a unified "Business Code of Conduct"
acceptable to the local business entities
• Create an "Industry Integrity Pact" which provides key
measures and control activities intended to ensure
transparency and integrity in business transactions.
Signatories to the pact commit to the performance of
these measures and controls
• Develop an audit and certification program (including
training programs for advisers and auditors) that will
offer tools for enterprises to introduce and implement
ethical practices in their business processes
• Institutionalize the whole process to promote
sustainability of the integrity initiative.
