Financial Accountability Report (FAR)
After clicking either of the selection, the user will be redirected to the FARs page where like other reports, coverage selection must be done first. Click the RETIEVE button to display any existing FAR reports. Note: If no specific status and FAR type was selected in retrieving the records, all available reports will be retrieved. To clear all fields, click on the CLEAR SELECTION.
9
Financial Accountability Report (FAR)
For creating a new FAR report, select the coverage first and click on the Add FAR button on the user interface. A dialog window will appear displaying the types of FAR reports that can be created.
10
FAR 1 Statement of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursements, and Balances (SAAODB) 10
11
FAR 1 – Statement of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursements, and Balances
When creating a new FAR 1 report, the user must first identify the Quarter Endings, Fund Cluster and Authorization and click on the LOAD button. The LOAD button means that the PAPs, authorized appropriation and allotment will be automatically generated from DBM systems, appropriation from the BPMS and Allotment Received by the specific OU from the DBM’s ebudget system.
12
FAR 1 – Statement of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursements, and Balances
For Appropriation Adjustments (col. 4), we have Outside Department and Within Department. Within Dept. automatically reflects the entries made on Adjustments, Transfer To and Transfer From of the Allotments. While Outside Dept. reflects the transfer of appropriation from one department to another based on the Memo Entry transacted in the DBM ebudget system, whether an addition or deduction.
13
FAR 1 – Statement of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursements, and Balances
Aside from the existing PAPs available, the user can add a new one by clicking the ADD button on the PAP. This facility will enable a lower operating unit in adding PAPs reflected on sub-allotments that are non-existent to them but are existing from their higher level operating unit, i.e. Central Office. Example: CMI’s sub-allotted by Central Office to Regional Offices
14
FAR 1 – Statement of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursements, and Balances
Once a new PAP has been added, it will be displayed on the user interface to start adding values.
15
FAR 1 – Statement of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursements, and Balances
An important reminder for the FAR 1 is that some fields must follow the business rules specified on that report. Business Rule: That the Adjusted Total Allotment must not be greater than the Adjusted Total Appropriation. Obligation not higher than the Adjusted Total Allotment. Disbursement not higher than the Obligation.
16
FAR 1 – Statement of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursements, and Balances
Automatic Appropriation Aside from the Agency Specific tab, the Automatic Appropriation tab’s functionality is the same as the one first one except that it has no OUTSIDE DEPT adjustment for appropriation. The user can select another fund source and add/delete PAPs on it. The modification process is also the same where the user must select a row item to be edited.
17
FAR 1 – Statement of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursements, and Balances
Special Purpose Funds The last tab for FAR 1 is the Special Purpose Fund. This tab displays pre-loaded values (depending on the chosen fund source). If values exist, editing the contents is similar to the first two tabs where the user must select a row item to begin adding values. Allotments encoded for SPF will automatically become its Adjusted Appropriations
18
FAR 1A Summary of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursement and Balances by Object of Expenditures (SAAODBOE) 18
19
FAR 1A – Summary of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursement and Balances by Object of Expenditures FAR 1A is one of the supporting documents of FAR 1 and thus when creating a new one, the user must first identify the Quarter Endings, Fund Cluster and Authorization and click on the LOAD button.
20
FAR 1A – Summary of Appropriations, Allotments, Obligations, Disbursement and Balances by Object of Expenditures The difference that the FAR 1A report has over the FAR 1 is that instead of adding PAPs, FAR 1A lets you add Sub-Objects instead. By clicking on the ADD button on the Sub-Objects group, a dialog window will open for the sub-object selection.
21
Lists of Allotments and Sub-allotments
FAR 1B Lists of Allotments and Sub-allotments (LASA) 21
22
FAR 1B – Lists of Allotments and Sub-allotments
The last supporting document for FAR 1 is the FAR 1B where creating a new one requires the user must first identify the Quarter Endings, Fund Cluster and Authorization and click on the LOAD button.
23
FAR 1B – Lists of Allotments and Sub-allotments
Allotments received from DBM - This tab will automatically capture the GAARD, GARO and SARO released by DBM from the DBM eBudget System. However, for flexibility, an ADD button is still available if there would be problems in the ebudget system itself. To add values on the template, simply click on the ADD button where a new row will be created and enter the desired values. Some fields accept alphanumeric characters.
24
FAR 1B – Lists of Allotments and Sub-allotments
Sub-allotments received from Central Office/Regional Office The functionality of the Sub-allotment tab is similar to the Allotment tab where a user can insert values by clicking on the ADD button where a new row is created to accept values. Saving is done by row.

Statement of Approved Budget, Utilization, Disbursements and Balances
FAR 2 Statement of Approved Budget, Utilization, Disbursements and Balances (SABUDB) 25
26
FAR 2 – Statement of Approved Budget, Utilization, Disbursements and Balances
FAR 2 is very similar to FAR 1. The only difference is that FAR 2 is used for Off-Budgets Accounts. When creating a new FAR 2 report, the user must first select the Quarter Endings and Fund Cluster to be used and click the LOAD button after.
27
FAR 2 – Statement of Approved Budget, Utilization, Disbursements and Balances
Agency Approved Budget On the Agency Approved Budget tab, the user can directly edit values on the pre-loaded fund source or select another one. Select a row to edit its details. But stil it follows the business rule of FARs: Business Rule: That the Budget Utilization must not be greater than the Approved Budget. Disbursement not higher than the Budget Utilization.

68
Monthly Disbursement Program
BED 3 Monthly Disbursement Program 68
69
BED 3 – Monthly Disbursement Program
Unlike the previous version of the BED 3, we now have different levels of BED 3. The old URS system has only one level wherein, when there is a need for re-submission of BEDs based on upward/download adjustments from NEP to GAA level, it was done manually or some users requested for reopening of the original BED 3 (NEP level). And when agencies need to revise their MDPs for second sem, there is no online system available to be use in submitting agencies’ revised MDP as of May 31 of each year. Only hardcopies were received by the DBM analysts.
70
BED Levels Agency Submission (NEP) As Evaluated by DBM
But now, we have several BED LEVELS under the current URS version. And this is true not only for BED 3 but also true to BEDS 1 and 2. URS now have Agency Submission (NEP) level, As Evaluated by DBM, DBM evaluated (GAA level), DBCC approved level, and Emerging MDP. Agency Submission (NEP) As Evaluated by DBM DBM Evaluated (GAA) DBCC Approved Emerging MDP
71
BED 3 – Monthly Disbursement Program
Aside from that, data encoding for BED 3 is now per fund source. Users must first fill-in the three filters: the Year, Release, and Fund source.
72
BED 3 – Monthly Disbursement Program
Year and Release filters The YEAR and RELEASE dropdown selection should be identified. By default, the selected option for the dropdown is Fiscal Year’s Budget for the YEAR selection and Comprehensive Release for the RELEASE selection. Other options are displayed on the screen: (read the slide)

Approval Workflow 117
118
General Report/Submission Workflow
Report and Submission Workflow
119
Approval Action and Status
Logged in as Maker (Budget Officer and the like) When the user is logged in as the maker of the report, the button name and status that the user will see on the user interface to trigger the approval is FOR REVIEW and PENDING.
120
Approval Action and Status
Once the Maker has clicked the FOR REVIEW button, the report will be sent to the reviewer. A dialog window indicating that the report was submitted successfully will be displayed.
121
Approval Action and Status
The Maker can no longer modify or do any changes once the report is submitted for approval. The FOR REVIEW button will be removed from the interface and is displayed as the status.
122
Approval Action and Status
Logged in as Reviewer (Planning Officer and the like) The approval action when logged in as a Reviewer is divided into two parts, one is passing the review by sending it to approval and the other is sending it back to the Maker. The main status will be FOR REVIEW and two buttons are also present on the user interface (FOR APPROVAL and SEND BACK). If the Reviewer has clicked the FOR APPROVAL button, the report will be sent to the approver. Otherwise, clicking the SEND BACK button returns the report to the Maker. A dialog window indicating that the report was submitted or sent back successfully will be displayed.
123
Approval Action and Status
Logged in a Approver (Agency Head and the like) Similar to the Reviewer approval workflow, the Approver’s process is also divided into two parts plus an additional final action, one is approving the report and the other is sending it back to the Maker directly. The main status will be FOR APPROVAL and two buttons are also present on the user interface (APPROVED and SEND BACK). When the Approver clicks the APPROVED button, the report will be approved and a final decision to submit the report to DBM must be done. Otherwise, clicking the SEND BACK button returns the report directly to the Maker instead of one rank lower. A dialog window indicating that the report was submitted or sent back successfully will be displayed. The status will also be updated once any of the two actions were made. For the submission of the report to DBM, the Approver still has an option to send the report back to the Maker if ever. The two button’s name present on the interface will now be SUBMITTED and SEND BACK.
124
Approval Action and Status
Note: This sample approval process is similar across all URS reports with only the placement of the buttons on the interface being the only difference.
125
Sendback Remarks Your disbursements is overstated by 10,000. Please review Everytime the reviewer and approver SENT BACK the report, a send back window will pop-up to enable them give remarks or reasons for sending back the report.
126
Mass Approval The URS is also capable of mass approval for the Reviewer and Approver user access rights only. After selecting the coverage, set a status aside from PENDING or SUBMITTED. If the user wants to submit all the operating units under a specific agency / region / division, select ‘ALL’.
127
Mass Approval Once identified and the RETRIEVE button has been clicked, the items loaded will have a corresponding checkbox on the leftmost column.
128
Mass Approval To select all reports on the list, simply click on the check box on the column header or select the desired items one by one.
129
Mass Approval Once the desired items have been selected, click on the APPROVED button to update the status of the selected reports. A notification message will appear on screen if the process was successful.
130
Mass Approval To verify that the selected items have been updated, select the next status higher than the previous one and click RETRIEVE. The items should appear on the list.
131
New Enhancements 131
132
To quickly view your privileges
When any user opens up a form, a new panel at the top of the page will appear, indicating the privileges available for the user. It displays the user’s position, the current status of the report, and what the user can currently do in the report (based on the status and the user’s position).
133
To quickly view your privileges
A “View Workflow” button is also available so that the users can know what are the positions involved in each status. Example: If you are a “Budget Officer” and the current status of the form is “Pending”, the “For Review” button will be available to you.
134
Enhancements to the Status page
The Status page now has a summary of the total reports for each status.
