2023 GAD Webinar Series Episode 5: Ain’t No GAD Budget High Enough: From GAD Plan Preparation to GAD Funds Audit

GAD Webinar 5 serves as the PCW’s National GAD Budget Forum, where the PCW discusses its GAD Budget Call to signal the preparation of GAD plans and budgets (GPBs) and GAD accomplishment reports (GAD ARs) of national government agencies, state universities and colleges, government-owned and controlled corporations and other government instrumentalities. The webinar is divided into three sessions to show the full cycle of GAD Planning and Budgeting. The first session highlights the essential elements in GAD planning and budgeting as well as the steps in preparing the GPB and GAD AR. The second session discusses the online submission, review and endorsement of GPBs and GAD ARs and presents the amendments to the PCW-NEDA-DBM Joint Circular 2012-01. The final session will feature COA’s revised guidelines on the audit of GAD funds and activities in government using compliance, value-for-money, and fraud audit approaches, as well as GAD funds audit findings when available.
