Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standard 24 PRESENTATION OF BUDGET INFORMATION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Background This Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standard (PPSAS) 24 consists of International Public Sector Accounting Standard (IPSAS) 24, “Presentation of Budget Information in Financial Statements,” and the Philippine Application Guidance (PAG) prepared to suit the Philippine public sector situation. The IPSAS 24 was issued in December 2006 by the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB) of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). This includes amendments resulting from IPSASs issued up to January 15, 2012. The PAG (in italics) provides supplementary guidance on the proper implementation of IPSAS 24. Introduction to the IPSAS 24 IPSAS 24 prescribes a comparison of budget amounts and the actual amounts arising from execution of the budget to be included in the financial statements of entities. This Standard also requires disclosure of an explanation of the reasons for material differences between the budget and actual amounts. The main issue in the implementation of this Standard is how the comparison of budget and actual amounts shall be presented in the financial statements. Philippine Application Guidance to IPSAS 24 Scope PAG1.Paragraph 3 deals with the applicability of this Standard to all public sector entities other than Government Business Enterprises (GBEs).

This standard shall be applied to all National Government Agencies (NGAs), Local Government Units (LGUs) and Government-Owned and/or Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) not considered as GBEs. Presentation of a Comparison of Budget and Actual Amounts PAG2.Paragraph 14 deals with the presentation by an entity of a comparison of the budget and actual amounts, either as a separate additional financial statement or as additional budget columns in the financial statements currently presented in accordance with IPSASs. An entity shall present a comparison of the budget and actual amounts as a separate additional financial statement. Effective Date PAG3. An entity shall apply this PPSAS for annual financial statements covering periods beginning January 1, 2014.
