1.0 RATIONALE

Government entities receiving budgetary support from the national


government annually submit their respective Budget Execution Documents
(BEDs) for review/evaluation and consolidation by the Department of Budget
and Management (DBM). Such BEDs, formulated based on the National
Expenditure Program (NEP) for a budget year, contain the agency plans,
spending schedules, and physical targets. These BEDs, when updated based
on the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for the budget year, serve as one of
the bases for the determination of the national government disbursement
program. The Development Budget Coordination Committee approves the
consolidated disbursement program levels for purposes of scheduling the
release of disbursement authorization documents as well as for the
assessment of the overall disbursement performance.

The national government is adopting the annual cash-based appropriations


(ACBA) starting FY 2019. Under the ACBA, obligation and implementation of
programs, activities, and projects is limited to just one year. In order to
effectively facilitate the timely delivery of planned results, the configuration of
the BEDs should be consistent with and supportive of the budgetary
innovations being implemented, to ensure release of funds and enable prompt
implementation of programs and projects.

consistency of the information reflected in the BEDs with the
procurement schedules/specifications; and

2016-9 dated October 27, 2016, as amended under DBM CL No. 2017-
