  1. and should not be charged against the budget for Capital Outlay.

  3. In my opinion you have to record on the year of purchase as capital outlay, after 1 year reclassify it, mag ka problema ka sa reconciliation with budget if you reclassify on the year of purchase.

  5. If it is less than P15,000, then, it shall be recognized as Semi-Expendable Machinery and Equipment or Semi-Expendable Furniture, Fixtures and Books.

  6. First, record the transaction as it is. It was appropriated and allotted as CO, purchased as CO and therefore the Property Custodian issued an ARE and recorded it as such. The accountant then should record the same as such. After that, prepare a JEV to reclassify the same as you deemed it correct. Furnish Property Officer a copy of your JEV for the officer to drop the item from PPE records. This way, both records of property and accountant are reconciled. If you immediately record it as inventory, the transaction will turn out as a reconciling item.

  8. As per our COA Auditor, it will be a semi expendable item which will be expensed upon issuance. The entry to PPE should meet the 15k minimum amount per item regardless of having budget for Capital Outlay. No requirement in GAM to record as PPE that there should be CO available.

  9. Per Circular Letter No. 2016-7 dated July 20, 2016, P/A/Ps costing P15,000 and below which were initially classified as Capital Outlay shall be reclassified as MOOE. This shall not be considered as realignment. However, the Agency concerned shall submit to the COA and the DBM the list of items reclassified from CO to MOOE for consistency in records. Accordingly, the registries and books of accounts of the Agency shall be adjusted.
