IPSAS

International Public Sector Accounting Standards

• International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) are a set of accounting standards issued by the IPSAS Board for use by public sector entities around the world in the preparation of financial statements. These standards are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

• IPSAS are accounting standards for application by national governments, regional (e.g., state, provincial, territorial) governments, local (e.g., city, town) governments and related governmental entities (e.g., agencies, boards and commissions). IPSAS standards are widely used by intergovernmental organizations. IPSAS do not apply to government business enterprises.

Supreme Court Decision on the case of University of the Philippines (UP) et al vs. Hon. Dizon, Stern Builders, Inc, and De la Cruz, GR No. 171182

SC ruled that:

a. Funds of UP are government funds that are public in character as they include the income accruing from the use of real property ceded to the UP that may be spent only for the attainment of institutional objectives.

b. COA must adjudicate private respondent’s claim before execution should follow. The settlement of the monetary claim was still subject to the primary jurisdiction of COA despite the final decision of the RTC having already validated the claim.

• In view of this public purpose requirement, the disbursement of public funds, salaries and benefits of government officers and employees should be granted to compensate them for public services rendered and the salaries or benefits paid to such officers and employees must be commensurate with services rendered.

• In the same vein, additional allowances and benefits must be shown to be necessary or relevant to the fulfilment of official duties and functions of government employees

Meaning of Public Purpose or Public Use in relation to disbursement of public funds

•Traditionally it means any purpose or use directly available to the public as a matter of right

•Does not pertains only to those purposes that which are traditionally viewed as essentially government functions such as building of roads and delivery of basic services but also includes those purposes designed to promote social justice

•Public use is now equated with public interest

Page 83: COA Updates CY 2014. Adoption of the Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standards (PPSAS) COA Resolution No. 2014-003 dated January 24, 2014 1.

• COA abandoned the ground of double compensation as a basis for questioned disallowance and affirmed the same on a new ground, that the disallowances did not meet the test of public purpose requirement.

• It was rules that COA in resolving cases brought before it on appeal, is not required to limit its review only to the grounds relied upon by a government agency’s auditor.

Supreme Court DecisionRamon Yap vs. COA - G.R. No. 158562 dated April 23, 2010Allowances and Benefits

Page 84: COA Updates CY 2014. Adoption of the Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standards (PPSAS) COA Resolution No. 2014-003 dated January 24, 2014 1.

• COA is not merely legally permitted, but is also duty bound to make its own assessment of the merits of the disallowed disbursement and not simply restrict itself to reviewing the validity of the ground relied upon by the Auditor of the government agency concerned. To hold otherwise would render COA’s vital constitutional power unduly limited and thereby useless and ineffective.
