The Unified Accounts Code Structure

Hello Class! Let us talk about the Unified Accounts Code Structure or UACS.

What is the Unified Accounts Code Structure?

Unified Accounts Cost Structure (UACS) is a government-wide coding framework to provide a

harmonized budgetary and accounting code classification that will facilitate the efficient and

accurate financial reporting of actual revenue collections and expenditures compared with

programmed revenues and expenditures, respectively, starting Fiscal Year 2014. This was

developed in accordance with Joint Circular No. 2013-1 dated August 6, 2013 with the joint effort of

Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Commission on Audit (COA), and Department of

Finance (DOF).

Let us understand, what are the purposes of UACS?

The following are the purposes of UACS:

 To establish the accounts and codes needed in reporting the financial transactions of the National

Government Agencies

 To provide framework for identifying, aggregating and reporting financial transactions in budget

preparation, executing, accounting and auditing.

 To enable the timely and accurate reporting of actual revenue collections and expenditures against

budgeted programmed revenues and expenditures

The reporting requirements that will be best served by UACS include:

• Financial reports as required by the DBM and COA

• Financial statements as required by Public Sector Accounting Standards Board of the

Philippines

Page | 6
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

• Management reports as required by the executive officials/heads of departments and agencies

• Economic statistics consistent with the Government Finance Statistics (GFS) Manual 2001.

There are five key elements of UACS, namely:

1. Funding Source (8 digits)

a. Fund cluster (2-digit code)

b. Financing source (1-digit code)

c. Authorization code (2-digit code)

d. Fund category (3-digit code)

2. Organization Code (12 digits)

a. Department code (2-digit code)

b. Agency code (3-digit code)

c. Operating unit classification (2-digit code)

d. Lower level operating unit (5-digit code)

3. Location Code (9 digits)

a. Region (2-digit code)

b. Province (2-digit code)

c. City/Municipality (2-digit code)

d. Barangay (3-digit code)

4. MFO/PAP (15 digits)

a. Sector/Horizontal Outcomes (5-digit code)

b. Program/Project (1-digit code)

c. MFO/Project Category (2-digit code)

Page | 7
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA
d. Activity Level 1/Project Sub-Category (2- digit code)

e. Activity Level 2/Project Title (5-digit code)

5. Object Code (10 digits)

a. Revised Chart of Accounts (8-digit code)

b. Sub-Object Code (2-digit code)

Now, let us talk about the Funding Source Codes.

Funding Source Codes

Originally, 6-digit code to reflect the Financing Source, Authorization and Fund Category.

However, per Joint Circular No. 2014-1 dated Nov. 7, 2014, additional 2-digit code was made for

the Fund Cluster

a. Fund Cluster Code Values

Fund Cluster Code Fund Cluster Description


01 Regular Agency Fund

02 Foreign Assisted Project Fund

03 Special Accounts – Locally Funded/Domestic Grant Funds

04 Special Accounts – Foreign Assisted/Foreign Grant Funds

05 Internally Generated Funds


06 Business Related Funds
07 Trust Receipts

b. Financing Source Code

General Funds – funds available for any purpose the congress may choose to

apply and composed of all receipts or revenues that do not accrue to other

funds

Off-Budgetary Funds – refer to receipts for expenditure items that are not part of the

National Expenditure Program and which are authorized for depositing in government

financial institutions. These are categorized into

 Retained income receipt

 Revolving fund

Custodial Funds – refers to receipt of cash received by any government agency, whether from a

private source or another government agency, to fulfill a specific purpose. This include trust

receipts, both from an individual or corporation, that are required to be held by government until

the outcome of a court’s case or procurement activity is determined, as well as a department or

agency acted as a trustee for the fulfillment of some obligations

c. Authorization Code

New General Appropriations 01

Continuing Appropriations 02

Supplemental Appropriations 03

Automatic Appropriations 04
Unprogrammed Funds 05
Retained Income/Funds 06
Revolving Funds 07
Trust Receipts 08

Page | 9
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

New General Appropriations – annual authorizations for incurring obligations, in terms of

specific amounts for Personnel Services (PS), Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses

(MOOE), Financial Expenses (FinEX), and Capital Outlays (CE) during a specified budget year,

as listed in the General Appropriation Act (GAA)

Continuing Appropriations – authorizations to support obligation for a specified purpose or

project, even when these obligations are incurred beyond the budget year. Because MOOE

and CO appropriations are valid for 2 years, unobligated and unreleased appropriations for

these budget items are valid until the end of their 2nd year.

Supplemental Appropriations – additional appropriations enacted by Congress to augment

original appropriations that have proven insufficient for their intended purpose because of

economic, political or social conditions. It must also be supported by a certification of

availability of fund by the BTr.

Automatic Appropriations – authorizations made annually or for some other periods

prescribed by law, by virtue of standing legislation which do not require periodic action

by Congress. These are automatically and annually included in the National

Expenditure Program of the National Government. Examples are Retirement and Life

Insurance Premiums, Domestic Grant Proceeds, Custom Duties and Taxes, Internal

Revenue Allotment

Unprogrammed Funds – standby appropriations for priority program or project of the

government. The utilization of these funds may be approved if the following

conditions are met:

• Revenue collections for the year exceed targets

• New revenues not included in the original revenue targets are successfully

generated

Page | 10
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

• Foreign loan proceeds are generated for newly approved project covered by

perfected loan agreement

Retained Income/Funds – collections that are authorized by law to be used directly by

agencies for their operation or specific purpose. These include but not limited to the

receipts from

• State universities and colleges – tuition and matriculation fees and other

internally generated receipts

• Department of Health – hospital income

Revolving Funds – receipts derived from business-type activities of

departments/agencies as authorized by law, and which are deposited in an authorized

depository bank. These funds shall be self-liquidating.

Trust Receipts – receipts that are officially in the possession of government agencies or

a public officer as trustee, agent, or administrator or which have been received for the

fulfillment of particular obligation.

Page | 12
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

Special Accounts in the General Fund (SAGF) – refers to funds where proceeds from

specific revenue measures and grants earmarked by law for priority projects are corded and

are automatically appropriated

Special Purpose Funds – lump-sum funds included in the GAA which are not within the

approved appropriations of departments/agencies/lower level operating units and which

are available for allocation to any department/agency/lower level operating unit or LGU for

a specific purpose

• The first digit of the Funding Source indicates whether the expenditure is sourced inside or outside

the general fund, which is the case for all budgeted spending and continuing or automatic

appropriation.

• The next two digits (2nd and 3rd) are for Authorization

• Last three digits (4th to 6th) are for the Fund Category, which identifies specific fund maintained by

the agency for accounting purpose

After a lengthy guess in Funding Source Course, let us now talk about the Organization Code.

Organization Code

It is a 12-digit code to reflect the Department, Agency and Sub-Agency or Operating Unit/Revenue

Collecting Unit

a. Department Code

A primary subdivision of the Executive Branch responsible for the overall management of a

sector or a permanent national concern with nationwide or international impact. A

department is headed by a Secretary or an office with an equivalent position level.

The first 2 digit (1st and 2nd) represent the Department Code. For purposes of UACS,

Constitutional Offices, the Judiciary and the Legislature are categorized as department-level

entities. COA and Commission on Human Right are considered operating units.

Page | 13
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

b. Agency Code

• It refers to any of the various units of the government, including an office or

GOCC that may not approximate the size of a department, but which performs

tasks that are equally important and whose area of concern is nationwide in

scope
Page | 14
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

• The next three digits (3rd to 5th) are the for Agency Code.

• For purposes of UACS, an Agency is an entity under a department whose budget

is directly released to the latter and may include the summation of all budgets of

sub-agencies listed under it, if any.

c. Operating Unit Classification Codes

• Organizational entities charged with carrying out specific substantive functions

or with directly implementing programs/projects of a department or agency as

such line bureaus and field units

• The next seven digits (6th to 12th) are for Operating Unit Classification Code.

• For purposes of UACS, operating units are organizational units under a

department or an agency which may

 Directly receive budgets from DBM including State universities and

colleges

 Recipients of fund transfers from higher level operating units

 Authorized to collect revenues

 The 1st 2-digits of Operating Unit codes will be the Operating unit while the

next 5 digits refer to assigned code for the individual lower-level operating

units

Page | 15
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

• Staff Bureau – a principal subdivision of a department which primarily performs

policy, program development and advisory functions.

• Regional Office (RO) – an organizational subdivision headed by a Regional

d. Lower Level Operation Units

• As a general rule, the last five digits of the Lower Level Operating Units Code

refer to the assigned code for the individual operating units without reference

to the Region Code. If an agency has been moved from one department to

another or if an operating unit has been moved from one agency to another,

Page | 18
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

all new coding numbers that apply shall be used. The old codes shall never be

assigned to any new agency/operating unit so as to preserve the transaction

history of each agency

The third key element of UACS is Location Codes

To facilitate central agency analysis across the National Government, local coding should first

enable the analysis of data by region, and then by province, municipality/city and barangay.

The coding structure relives upon the codes used by the National Statistical Coordination Board

(NSCB) only. Location code is a 9-digit code composed of Region, Province, City/Municipality and

Barangay.

a. Region

• A sub-national administrative unit composed of several provinces having more or less

homogenous characteristics such as ethnic origin of inhabitants, dialect spoken,

agricultural produce, etc.

• Region code is a 2-dgit code (1st and 2nd) that identifies a specific regions. It ranges

from 01-99 and generally corresponds to the regional number

Page | 19
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

b. Province

• A political corporate unit of government which consists of a cluster of municipalities

and component cities.

• It serves as a dynamic mechanism for developmental processes and effective

governance of local government units within its territorial jurisdiction.

• Province code is a 2-digit code (3rd and 4th) that identifies the province. It ranges from

01-99 and generally defines the relative alphabetic sequence of all provinces in the

Philippines.

• Province code is independent of the Region Code which means that even if a province

is transferred to another region, its Province code remains the same.

c. Municipality

• A political corporate unit of government which consists of a group of barangays.

• It serves primarily as a general-purpose government for the coordination and delivery

of basic, regular and direct services and effective governance of the inhabitants within

its territorial jurisdictions.

• Municipality code is a 2-digit code (5th and 6th) that generally defines the relative

alphabetical sequence of municipalities within the province. It ranges from 01 to 99.

The fourth key element is the Major Final Out (MFO/Program Activity & Project Codes.

Major Final Output (MFO)

Good or service that a department or agency is mandated to deliver to external clients through

the implementation of program, activities and projects. It should be within the department or

agency’s control. It should be measurable, manageable and auditable. Examples: Regulatory

services, health services, education services and agricultural support services

Program

An integrated group of activities that contributes to an agency or department’s continuing

objective. Examples: General and Administration Support, Support to Operations, etc

designed to produce a predetermined measures of goods or services. It is considered an

investment toward expanding the capacity of a department/agency to deliver MFOs

MFO/PAP Codes is a 15-digit code composed of the following:

a. Sector/Horizontal Outcomes

In order to provide the ability to track budgets to the sector outcomes, a 3-digit code for the

Sector Outcomes was added as a prefix of the MFO/PAP Codes

Page | 24
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

Sectors Code shall not be used; these are intended as headings. Only Sub-sector code shall be

utilized. All MPO/PAPs are required to have Sub-sector Outcome Code Value.

To provide the tagging of the horizontal outcomes, another 2-digit code was added, for Horizontal

Outcomes next to Sector Outcomes

b. Program/Project Purpose

• Single-digit code which indicates Program (General Administration and Support,

Support to Operations, and Operations); Project Type (Locally Funded or Foreign

Assisted; and Purpose (Special Purpose Fund)

Page | 25
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

administration management support to the entire agency operation. Examples are

general management and supervision, legislative liaison services, human resource

development and financial and administrative services.

• Support to Operations (STO) – activities that provide technical and substantive support

d. Project Title

The list of projects by title is shown in the

NEP/GAA

The fifth key element of UACS is Object Codes

It is a 10-digit code composed of the first 8 digits (1st to 8th) are for COA Chart of Accounts Object

and the next two digits (9th and 10th) are for Sub-Object. The object classification covers all

financial transactions of the government, such as but not limited to, goods or services acquired,

payments made, the source of revenue or the cause of increases or decreases in assets and

liabilities. The object information provides a method for classifying and coding transactions to

enable the reporting of information (including the impact of government revenues and

expenditures on the economy) as well as the nature and standard classification of transactions for

internal departmental analysis. It will provide the oversight agency information in making

economic decision, as well as repository of government-wide information, which can be used

without requiring departments and agencies to respond to individual request.

Page | 29
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

The sources of account descriptions and codes in the UACS object coding elements includes the

following:

 The codes from the COA Revised Chart of Accounts prepared for accrual basis financial

reporting

 The addition of some sub-object codes

 Additional expenditure accounts designed for cash basis budgeting such as those of

capital outlays

The basis for coding the object classification in the COA Revised Chart of Accounts is accrual

accounting

The classification coding framework for Object Coding as provided by COA in the Revised Chart of

Accounts

Particulars UACS
Assets 1
Liabilities 2
Equity 3
Income 4
Expenses 5

• Assets – economic resources of an agency that recognized and measured in conformity

with generally accepted accounting principles.

• Liability – economic obligations of an agency that are recognized and measured in

conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

• Equity – residual interest of the government in an agency which is the excess of the agency

assets over liabilities.

Page | 30
The Unified Accounts Code Structure • NU LAGUNA

• Income – refers to the gross inflow of economic benefits or service potential during the

reporting period, when those inflows result in an increase in net assets/equity.

• Expenses – decrease in economic benefits or service potential during the reporting period

in the form of outflows or consumption of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in

decrease in net assets/equity

For object coding, descriptions and codes are drawn from the COA Revised Chart of Accounts. If

disaggregation is necessary, sub-object codes shall be used to show the breakdown of selected

assets, income and accounting expenditure classification codes. Examples
