Fact Pattern:
A legislation approves the allocation of P100B funds to support the
operations of Entity A (a government agency) in the current year. At
the start of the first quarter, Entity A receives authorization to incur
obligations for a maximum amount of P45B in that quarter. Entity A
extends half of that authorization to its lower operating units. During
the quarter, Entity A receives monthly authorization to disburse funds
not to exceed P15B per month. Entity A extends half of those monthly
authorizations to its lower operating units. At the end of the quarter,
total obligations incurred amounted to P40B while total disbursements
amounted to P35B.
D 7.The half of the P45B authorization extended by the Entity (Central Office) to its
lower operating units is referred to as

Congratulations for finishing this module! May this help you understand
the budget cycle. The steps discussed in this chapter will have a great
impact on how government transactions are accounted. But more than
that, I hope that this chapter helped you become an empowered Filipino
Citizen. Now you know how things are supposed to be done in terms of
handling government funds. Keep safe and see you on your next
module.
