COMMENTS
1) ISSUES IN THE ADOPTION OF THE ANNUAL INVESTMENT PLAN (AIP)
FOR C.Y. 2011.
a) As of today, July 14, 2010, there was still no adopted AIP for
C.Y. 2011 for the LGU.
b) The adoption of the AIP must be ahead of at least one month
in order to effectively link the AIP with the budget. It cannot be
the other way around that the budget should be prepared ahead
of the AIP.
Please take note that the Statement of Receipts (LBP Form
No. 1) in the budget must be dated not later than the date of
the adoption of the AIP for 2011.
c) There was no adopted Annual Investment Plan (AIP) for C.Y.
2011, therefore, theoretically, the preparation of the Municipal
Annual Budget should not have been initiated. (PART II, Chapter
1, Item 5.0, page 54, BOM-LGU).
d) The AIP must carry the same amount for the Plans, Programs and
Activities for locally funded projects including but not limited to
the general fund expenditures of all departments.
e) The executive budget hearing must be conducted using the AIP
as the guide in preparing the departmental functional
statements. The all new appropriations must specify and indicate
the purpose of the new appropriations.
elected officials started at noon of June 30, 2010 (Sec. 43, LGC of
1991. R.A. 7160).
It was noticed that no new office order was issued after the
term of office of the LCE expired at noon of June 30, 2010.
CONCLUSION
It is apparent that there are violations inferred in the budget
preparation. Unless corrected it can be the basis of a negative opinion
on the review action from the reviewing authority such as the
Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
