Purpose of Financial Statements The objectives of general purpose financial reporting in the public sector should be to provide information useful for decision making, and to demonstrate the accountability of the entity for the resources entrusted to it, by: 1. providing information about the sources, allocation, and uses of financial resources; 2. providing information about how the entity financed its activities and met its cash requirements; 3. providing information that is useful in evaluating the entity’s ability to finance its activities and to meet its liabilities and commitments; 4. providing information about the financial condition of the entity and changes in it; 5. providing aggregate information useful in evaluating the entity’s performance in terms of service costs, efficiency and accomplishments;

General purpose financial statements – predictive or prospective role by providing information useful in predicting the: 1. level of resources required for continued operations, 2. the resources that may be generated by continued operations, 3. The associated risks and uncertainties. Financial reporting may also provide users with information: 1. indicating whether resources were obtained and used in accordance with the legally adopted budget; and 2. indicating whether resources were obtained and used in accordance with legal and contractual requirements, including financial limits established by appropriate legislative authorities.

Responsibility for Financial Statements - responsibility for the fair presentation and reliability of financial statements rests with the management

Components of Financial Statements Necessary for a person to understand the information presented a. name of the reporting entity or other means of identification and any change in that information from the preceding reporting date b. whether separate or consolidated

c. reporting date or period covered d. name of fund cluster e. reporting currency f. level of rounding used

Qualitative Characteristics of Financial Reporting 1. understandability 2. relevance 3. materiality 4. timeliness 5. reliability 6. faithful representation 7. substance over form 8. neutrality 9. prudence 10. completeness 11. comparability

Financial reporting for the national government a. each entity of the national govt maintains complete set of accounting books by fund cluster which is reconciled with the records of cash transactions maintained by BTr b. the BTr accounts for cash, public debt and related transactions of the national government c. each entity maintains budget registries which are reconciled with the records maintained by DBM and GAS, COA d. the COA through GAS: a. maintains budget records showing the overall approved budget of the NG and its execution/implementation b. consolidates the FSs and budget accountability report of all NGAs and the BTr with COA’s records come up with an Annual Financial Report (sept. 30 last day) c. prepares other financial reports required by law

Fair Presentation and Compliance with PPSAS A fair presentation also requires an entity: a.
