Refinement/Improvement of
the
UACS Code Structure
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.

UACS Coding Framework
(Revised/Improved)
The Revised/Improved UACS
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
8
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.)
Outcome Sector / Horizontal (5-Digit), MFO/PAP
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).

In MFO/PAP, additional 6-digit codes for:
Sector / Sub Sector (CoFoG) 3
digits
Horizontal Programs 2 digits
Additional 1 digit to the Project

Refinement to MFO/PAP Code
Outcome Sector / Horizontal (5-Digit), MFO/PAP
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

Project Title (additional 1-Digit), MFO/PAP
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.
