Project Information

One of the major strategies of the Medium Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) is the Operationalization of an accounting system for all government agencies that is in line with International Accounting Standards. Its objective is to prevent and minimize systemic risks by strengthening regulatory framework and creating an environment of transparency and accountability with the use of these international standards.

As a response to this effort, the Philippines Accounting Standards Council (ASC), in line with the accounting profession’s objective to converge Philippine accounting standards with international accounting standards, issued a number of new accounting standards, referred to as Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs) that became effective in 2005.

As a consequence, PhilHealth needs to upgrade internal capability to generate and present financial information in an IT environment that would present fairly the results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation and as basis for decision-making, thus the rationale for this training.

This 3-componet training capacitated the PHIC participants with the necessary skills and knowledge on International Accounting Standards that will enable them adopt and apply these into the PhilHealth corporate setting in compliance to the requirements of PhilHealth management, COA as well as other major GOP stakeholders.
