GIFMIS

“To ensure both the adequacy of public resources and the results per peso spent, we need a stable and enabling PFM system… comprehensive enough to cover the moment when

taxes are collected to the point where suppliers of government are paid, and up to that point when the auditor takes stock of

how these funds were used. This PFM system shouldn’t be purely financial, for it has to take into account the actual,

concrete results on the ground brought about by the use of public resources.”

“There’s more to PFM than merely installing a new ICT system or shutting down bank accounts… through PFM we ultimately

want greater accountability to be embedded in how we in government use the people’s hard-earned taxes.”

-- DBM Secretary Florencio B. AbadPFM Roadmap Briefing 8 March 2012
