Test I. TRUE OR FALSE. Write True if the statement contains facts and valid, otherwise, write False.
1. The principles in the GAM for NGAs are similar to the principles in the PFRSs.
2. The GAM for NGAs is promulgated by the Philippine Congress under the authority conferred to it under the Philippine
Constitution.
3. A unique financial reporting requirement of government entities is the use of fund cluster accounting. Under fund cluster
accounting, separate books and reports are prepared for each type of fund held by a government entity.
4. The GAM for NGAs is promulgated primarily to harmonized government accounting standards with the U.S. GAAP.
5. An item is recognized as an asset if it meets both the "probable" future economic benefits" and "reliable measurement"
criteria, regardless of whether the item is a resource controlled arising from past events.
6. The budget preparation in the Philippines uses a “bottom-up” approach. Under this approach, the budget preparation
starts from the highest levels of the government down to the lowest levels.
7. An entity prepares its budget by simply rolling-over the budget in the previous year and adjusting each line item by 10%
increment to reflect inflation. This process is described as zero-based budgeting.
8. After the budget call from the DBM, the proposed budget of various agencies are submitted to the Office of the
President for review.
9. An entity can incur obligations after receiving notice of its appropriation but before receiving the allotment.
10. Budget deliberations in the Congress start in the House of Senate.
11. A government entity must first receive an allotment before it can incur obligations.
12. A government entity can make disbursements even before it receives a disbursement authority.
13. Appropriation is also called obligational authority.
14. The Notice of Cash Allocation (NCA) is an authority issued by the DBM to central, regional and provincial offices and
operating units to cover their cash requirements.
15. Responsibility accounting greatly enhances budget accountability because managers are evaluated only in terms of the
costs or other variables that they control, and therefore, budget deviations can be readily attributed to the managers
accountable therefor.
16. Technically, only the Journals and Ledgers are considered accounting records; the Registries are budget records.
17. Separate accounting records and budget registries are maintained for each fund cluster.
18. Government entities and business entities use the term "obligation" or the phrase "incurrence of obligation" similarly.
19. The various registries maintained by government entities primarily serve as internal control for controlling and
monitoring the conformance of actual results with the approved budget.
20. A check disbursement is normally recorded as credit to the "Cash-Modified Disbursement System (MDS) Regular"
account.
21. All revenues shall be remitted to the BTr and included in the Special Fund, unless another law specifically requires
otherwise.
22. Payments to government entities in the form of checks are not allowed.
23. Revenues of a government entity arise from exchange transactions only.
24. According to the GAM for NGAs, revenue from exchange transactions are measured at the amount of cash received.
25. When cash flows are deferred, the fair value of the consideration receivable is its present value.
