• The revision to the coding structure was approved by the PFM Committee on April 30, 2014
• The PFM Budget Reporting and Performance Standard (BRPS) PIU is in the process of formalizing the coding structure revision and code values
• A Joint Circular (or Budget Circular) will be issued to inform all agencies / users – This will be done as soon as possible.

Implementing UACS for Budget Execution Processes
The UACS Code Structure has worked well for the Budget Preparation process
There is a need for some refinement of the UACS Code Structure as the code structure gets applied in the Budget Execution, Accounting, Disbursement, Reporting process
9
Identified Needed UACS Refinements:
Change in Budget base from Performance-Informed Budget (PIB) Output to Outcome-based budget
Identification (tagging) of Sector and Sub Sector (using CoFoG), and Horizontal Programs (many agencies) for Budget Preparation and Execution (e.g. Disaster Related, Climate Change, etc.)
10
• Existing UACS is not designed for Integration of Tagging under Outcomes, Sectors / Sub Sectors, Horizontal Programs, etc. when the MFO/PAP Code was structured – the structure was setup for vertical programs (within agency).
Outcome – Sector / Horizontal (5-Digit), MFO/PAP
11
In MFO/PAP, additional 6-digit codes for:
• Sector / Sub Sector (CoFoG) – 3 digits
• Horizontal Programs – 2 digits• Additional 1 digit to the Project

• Proposed for the MFO-PAP Element to address Outcomes is to utilize the Sectors / Sub Sectors from the Classifications of Functions of Government (CoFoG). This is the internationally recognized sectors for Outcome. This would be a 3 digit code
• Proposed for the MFO-PAP Element to address specific Horizontal Programs is a 2 digit code for this. This would include items for Climate Change, Disaster Related, MITHI, Poverty Reduction, etc.
Outcome – Sector / Horizontal (5-Digit), MFO/PAP

• Every MFO/PAP Code shall be attributed to one or more outcome sector, and may or may not have horizontal program.
• In the absence of horizontal program the code shall be outcome sector, example “020” for Defense and “00”, or in full “020 00”.
• Another example is outcome sub-sector “061” for Housing Development, and horizontal program “02” for Disaster Related, the complete code is “061 02”

MFO/PAP – Activity Level 2 / Project Title
•Some large agencies may have huge number of projects that may exceed the existing 4-digit code (9,999) within a few years.
•Increasing the project code to 5-digit (99,999) should be sufficient to handle the code for many decades.
Project Title (additional 1-Digit), MFO/PAP
