of financial resources and those activities and
operations to generate revenue, make those
available, and see to it that funds are wisefully,
lawfully, effectively and efficiently spent.
• The administration of finances is an intrinsic
component of management responsibility. There
is an intimate linkage between administering and
funding. An administrative act has financial
implications.

• Fiscal policy refers to the “measures employed
by governments to stabilize the economy,
specifically by manipulating the levels and
allocations of taxes and government
expenditures. Fiscal measures are frequently
used in tandem with monetary policy to
achieve certain goals.”

Expenditure
4) Prevent Deficits

18. BUDGETING CONCEPTS
1. Planning – Programming Budget System
(PPBS) Type
2. Zero – Base Budgeting (ZBB) Type

19. BUDGETING CONCEPTS
Planning – Programming Budget System (PPBS)
Type.
a) Gives assurance that the budget will help
achieve desired agency results.
b) Unit head defends the budget, explains its
contribution to the realization of agency goals,
develops a cost projection for each program.
c) Submits this to top management which reviews
the program and decides on final budget
allocation.

20. BUDGETING CONCEPTS
Zero – Base Budgeting (ZBB) Type
a) The agency justifies the entire appropriation request
for the fiscal year as if the programs are entirely new,
instead of justifying only the increase requested
above the previous year’s appropriation.
b) The agency is obligated to defend all programs every
year and rank these in terms of priority using the ratio
between cost and benefit criterion.
c) Provides opportunity for top management to re-
evaluate the need for on-going programs, compare
these with the proposed and the prioritized for
implementation.

21. LINE ITEM versus
PERFORMANCE BUDGETING
1. Line Item
• Object of the expenditure type
• Consists of a detailed listings of every position to be
filled
• Gives the legislative body tremendous discretion to
strike out or to approve individual items.
• Funds appropriated may not be transferred from one
category of expense to another.
• Also known as “rule of thumb” budgeting where
figures of past years are reflected but without income
indicators.

22. LINE ITEM versus
PERFORMANCE BUDGETING
Three columns of figures appear in each budget
sheet:
a) Actual expenditure for each object during the
previous fiscal year
b) Estimated amounts to be spent for the same
objects for the current fiscal year
c) Amount desired for the same objects for the
incoming or future fiscal year

23. LINE ITEM versus
PERFORMANCE BUDGETING
2. Performance Budgeting
• is lump sum budgeting
• is program budgeting which spells out functions,
activities and projects
• allow transfer of funds from one organizational
unit to another, between work activities and
objects to spent for.
• there is difficulty in identifying what work units
perform or not perform, since its most important
concern is the overall performance of the agency.
