Operating support sectors
Among the operating support sectors, those significantly changed were the
Government Accountancy and Financial Management Information System (GAFMIS)
which was renamed Government Accountancy Sector (GAS) with a renewed focus on
the keeping of the general accounts; and the Management Services and Technical
Services Sector which was renamed Special Services Sector (SSS).
In the new GAS structure, an assistant commissioner indirectly supervises the
Government Accountancy Office (GAO) which is headed by a director and assistant
director. The GAO is divided into the General Accounts Services I, II & III,
General Accounts and Consolidation Services, Public Debt Monitoring Services and
Accounting Research and Development Services, each led by a service chief with
the rank of a State Accountant V.
The FMIS component of the old GAFMIS was integrated into the Information
Technology Office (ITO) under the SSS.
The SSS also has an assistant commissioner indirectly supervising the Special
Audits Office (SAO) which used to be the Management Services, Technical Services
Office (TSO), and the ITO, formerly the defunct Information and Communication
Technology Center. A director and an assistant director are in charge of each
office.
The reinstated ITO is composed of the Information Systems Development and
Maintenance Services, Systems Administration Services, Hardware Maintenance
Services, Information Systems Audit Services, and the Information Systems
Consultancy Services, each led by a service chief.
The Legal and Adjudication Sector, on the other hand, was renamed Legal
Services Sector (LSS) and is headed by the General Counsel who, while an
assistant commissioner, retains direct control over the Adjudication and Legal
Services Office (ALSO).
The General Counsel continues to perform advisory and consultative functions
and render legal service with respect to the performance of the functions of the
Commission and the interpretation of pertinent laws and auditing rules and
regulations. The General Counsel likewise holds oversight functions over the
Fraud Audit and Investigation Office (FAIO) under the LSS.
The ALSO has a director and an assistant director in charge and is divided
into four: Adjudication and Legal Services-National, Local, Corporate, and other
Legal Services, each led by a service chief with the rank of Attorney VI.
The FAIO, meanwhile, is composed of five sections: Fraud Audit
Services-National, Local, & Corporate and the Administrative Investigation
Services I & II. A director and an assistant director head the office with a
service chief for each section.
The Administration Sector is indirectly supervised by the assistant
commissioner and is divided into the offices of the Human Resource Management,
General Services, Medical and Dental Services and the Personnel Welfare and
Assistance (PWA).
The changes in the Medical and Dental Services Office call for an assistant
director to head the office with a Medical Specialist V heading the medical
services, a Dentist V in charge of the dental services and a Medical
Technologist V leading the laboratory services.
The new structure of the Professional Development Sector involves a new
section, the international training and research services which is directly
under the assistant commissioner who exercises indirect supervision over the
Professional Development Office (PDO).
Leading the PDO is a director and an assistant director with a service chief
in charge of the training research, program design, development and evaluation
services; technical skills training services; library, printing and publication
services; and career service and senior executive training services.
Lastly, the Finance Sector was renamed Planning, Finance and Management
Sector with an assistant commissioner at the helm indirectly supervising the
Accounting Office and the Risk Management and Budget Office.
The sections under RMBO are renamed Risk Management and Strategic
Planning Sevices, Review and Evaluation Services, Budget Preparation Services
and Budget Execution and Accountability Services.
