COMMISSION ON AUDIT
Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Secretary
Department of Social Welfare and Development
Batasan Hills, Quezon City
Unqualified Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Philippines Beneficiary FIRST
Social Protection Project Component 2 - World Bank/International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (WB/IBRD), which comprise the Statement of
Financial Position, as at December 31, 2021, and Statement of Financial Performance,
Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Changes in Net Assets/Equity for the year then
ended, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements presents fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Philippines Beneficiary FIRST Social Protection
Project Component 2-WB/IBRD as at December 31, 2021, and of its financial
performance, statement of cash flows and statement of net assets/equity, for the year then
ended and Notes to Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies in accordance with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards of Supreme Audit
Institutions (ISSAls). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the agency in accordance with the Revised Code of Conduct and
Ethical Standards for Commission on Audit Officials and Employees (Code of Ethics)
together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements in the Philippines, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the
date of this auditor's report is included in the Annual Report of the Agency, but does not
include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date
of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. However, we have nothing to report in this
regard.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with the IPSAS, and for such internal control as Management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as
a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
Auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISSAls will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISSAIs, we exercise professional judgement and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
* Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those
risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or override of internal control.


*  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the agency's internal control.
*  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
*  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit observations, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied
with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them
all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current
period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in
our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

1. General Information/Agency Profile                            IPSAS 1
The financial statements of Department of Social Welfare and Development Office
of the Secretary were authorized for issue on February 08, 2022 as shown in the
Statement of Management Responsibility for Financial Statements signed by
Director Wayne C. Belizar, Director for Finance and Management Service and
Undersecretary Atty. Adonis P. Sulit, Office of the Undersecretary for General IPSAS
Administration and Support Services Group.                      1.63(b)
IPSAS
On 15 February 1915, upon creation of the Public Welfare Board during the American 14.26
Regime, the government started to get involved in social welfare. The board was
established to coordinate, regulate and supervise social services activities and other
charitable works rendered by religious orders and organizations. Finally, in 1917, the IPSAS
first government orphanage was established. As a result of several changes by the 1.150
government in its bureaus and departments, the original Public Welfare Board of the
year 1915 became The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
After which, The Social Welfare Administrator was formally created by virtue of
Executive Order (EO) No. 396 dated 13 January 1951. Republic Act (RA) No. 5416
known as the Social Welfare Act was approved in 1968. It was made into a
Department, whose responsibility was to provide comprehensive program of social
welfare services designed to ameliorate the living conditions of distressed Filipinos,
particularly those who are handicapped by reason of poverty, youth, physical and
mental disability, illness and old age, or who are victims of natural calamities
including assistance to members of the cultural minorities.
With the provision of DSWD Mandate under Executive Order No. 15, DSWD was
transformed from the rowing to steering role that usher in the new vision, mission
and goals for the Department.
The Department's vision is directed towards the attainment of "all Filipinos free from
hunger and poverty, have equal access to opportunities, enabled by a fair, just, and
peaceful society".
In the pursuit of its vision, the DSWD mission is to "lead in the formulation,
implementation, and coordination of social welfare and development policies and
programs for and with the poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged".
1.1 Programs/Projects/Activities
+ Foreign Assisted Projects
* Philippines Beneficiary FIRST (Fast, Innovative, and Responsive
Service Transformation) Social Protection Project is a project of the
Department which aims to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on the
welfare of low-income households and strengthen DSWD's social
protection delivery systems to be adaptive and efficient.

The financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with
the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS).
3.2 Financial instruments
a. Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets within the scope of IPSAS 29 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement are classified as financial assets at fair value
through surplus or deficit, loans and receivables as appropriate. The IPSAS
Department of Social Welfare and Development determines the classification 29.10
of its financial assets at initial recognition.           IPSAS
30.31
The DSWD's financial assets include cash and other receivables.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their I
classification.

Notes to Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 2021
Fund Cluster 02 - Foreign Assisted Projects
IBRD No. 9168-PH: Philippines Beneficiary FIRST Social Protection Project
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or
determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial
measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at IPSAS
amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. 29.10
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium  IPSAS
on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective 29.48(a)
interest rate. Losses arising from impairment are recognized in the surplus IPSAS
or deficit.                                                 29.65
Derecognition
The DSWD derecognizes a financial asset or, where applicable, a part of a
financial asset or part of DSWD of similar financial assets when:
* The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or is waived
* The DSWD has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset
or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full IPSAS
without material delay to a third party; and either: (a) the DSWD has 29.19
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or (b) the IPSAS
DSWD has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and 29.20-22
rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Impairment of financial assets
The DSWD assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective IPSAS
evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A  29.67-68
financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and IPSAS
only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more 30.PAG5
events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred (f)
"loss event") and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash
flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably
estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include the following indicators:
* The debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial
difficulty;
* Default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
* The probability that debtors will enter bankruptcy or other financial
reorganization;
* Observable data indicates a measurable decrease in estimated future
cash flows (e.g. changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate
with defaults).

b. Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities within the scope of IPSAS 29 are classified as financial IPSAS
liabilities at fair value through surplus or deficit. The entity determines the  29.10
classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
The DSWD's financial liabilities include other payables.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is IPSAS
discharged or cancelled or expires.                         29.41
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same
lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are IPSAS
substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a 29.43
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and
the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in surplus or
deficit.
3.3 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in bank for local and  IPSAS
foreign currencies.                                             2.8

3.4 Inventories
Inventory is measured at cost upon initial recognition. To the extent that inventory
was received through non-exchange transactions (for no cost or for a nominal
cost), the cost of the inventory is its fair value at the date of acquisition.
IPSAS
After initial recognition, inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net 12.15
realizable value. However, to the extent that a class of inventory is distributed or IPSAS
deployed at no charge or for a nominal charge, that class of inventory is 12.17(a)
measured at the lower cost and current replacement cost.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of IPSAS
operations, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs 12.35
necessary to make the sale, exchange, or distribution.         IPSAS

3.5 Property, Plant and Equipment
Recognition
An item is recognized as property, plant, and equipment (PPE) if it meets the i IPSAS
characteristics and recognition criteria as a PPE.           17.13
The characteristics of PPE are as follows:
* tangible items;
* held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to IPSAS
others, or for administrative purposes; and               17.14
* expected to be used during more than one reporting period.
An item of PPE is recognized as an asset if:
* It is probable that future economic benefits or service potential associated
with the item will flow to the entity; and
* The cost or fair value of the item can be measured reliably.
Measurement at Recognition
An item recognized as property, plant, and equipment is measured at cost.  IPSAS
17.26
A PPE acquired through a non-exchange transaction is measured at its fair value
as at the date of acquisition.                               IPSAS
17.27
The cost of the PPE is the cash price equivalent or, for PPE acquired through
non-exchange transaction its cost is its fair value as at recognition date.
IPSAS
Cost includes the following:                                  17.37
* Its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase
taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates;       IPSAS
* Expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items; and  17.30
* Initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and
restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity
incurs either when the item is acquired, or as a consequence of having used
the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce
inventories during that period.
Measurement After Recognition                                IPSAS
17.43
After recognition, all property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less PAG2 of
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.              IPSAS

When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be IPSAS
replaced at intervals, the DSWD recognizes such parts as individual assets with 17.24
specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly. Likewise, when a major IPSAS
repair/replacement is done, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the 17.25
plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied.
All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized as expenses in surplus or
deficit as incurred.                                         IPSAS
17.23
Depreciation
Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is IPSAS
significant in relation to the total cost of the item  is depreciated separately.  17.59
The depreciation charge for each period is recognized as expense unless it is I
included in the cost of another asset.                       IPSAS
17.64
Initial Recognition of Depreciation
Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use such as when it is in PAG3 of
the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the IPSAS
manner intended by management.                                17
For simplicity and to avoid proportionate computation, the depreciation is for one
month if the PPE is available for use on or before the 15th of the month.
However, if the PPE is available for use after the 15th of the month, depreciation
is for the succeeding month.
Depreciation Method
Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is PAG4 of
significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately.  IPSAS
17
The depreciation charge for each period is recognized as expense unless it is
included in the cost of another asset.
The straight line method of depreciation shall be adopted unless another method
is more appropriate for agency operation.
Estimated Useful Life
The DSWD uses the Schedule on the Estimated Useful Life of PPE by i PAG5 of
classification prepared by COA.                               IPSAS
17
The DSWD uses a residual value equivalent to at least five percent (5%) of the PAG6 of
cost of the PPE.                                              IPSAS

Impairment
An asset's carrying amount is written down to its recoverable amount, or
recoverable service amount, if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its
estimated recoverable service amount.
Derecognition
The DSWD derecognizes items of property, plant and equipment and/or any IPSAS
significant part of an asset upon disposal or when no future economic benefits 17.82
or service potential is expected from its continuing use. Any gain or loss arising IPSAS
on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net 17.83
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the IPSAS
surplus or deficit when the asset is derecognized.           17.86

economic benefits or service potential that are attributable to the assets will flow
to the entity; and the cost or fair value of the assets can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognized at cost.  IPSAS
31.31
Intangible Assets Acquired through Non-Exchange Transactions
The cost of intangible assets acquired in a non-exchange transaction is their fair IPSAS
value at the date these were acquired.                        31.42-43
Internally Generated Intangible Assets
Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, IPSAS
are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in surplus or deficit in the period 31.49
in which the expenditure is incurred.                         IPSAS

Recognition of an Expense
Expenditure on an intangible item shall be recognized as an expense when it is
incurred unless it forms part of the cost of an intangible asset that meets the
recognition criteria of an intangible asset.
Subsequent Measurement
The useful life of the intangible assets is assessed as either finite or indefinite.  IPSAS
Intangible assets with a finite life is amortized over its useful life:  31.87
IPSAS
31.96
IPSAS
26.22
The straight line method is adopted in the amortization of the expected pattern PAG3 of
of consumption of the expected future economic benefits or service potential.  IPSAS

IPSAS
31.117
An intangible asset with indefinite useful lives shall not be amortized.  IPSAS
31.106
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or an intangible asset not yet IPSAS
available for use are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication 31.107
that the asset may be impaired.
The amortization period and the amortization method, for an intangible asset with IPSAS
a finite useful life, are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Changes in 31.103
the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future IPSAS
economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the 31.108
amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in
accounting estimates. The amortization expense on an intangible asset with a
finite life is recognized in surplus or deficit as the expense category that is
consistent with the nature of the intangible asset.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured IPSAS
as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of 31.112
the asset and are recognized in the surplus or deficit when the asset is
derecognized.
3.7 Changes in accounting policies and estimates
The DSWD recognizes the effects of changes in accounting policy IPSAS
retrospectively. The effects of changes in accounting policy are applied 3.27
prospectively if retrospective application is impractical.   IPSAS
3.30
The DSWD recognizes the effects of changes in accounting estimates
prospectively by including in surplus or deficit.

The DSWD correct material prior period errors retrospectively in the first set of IPSAS
financial statements authorized for issue after their discovery by:  3.41
* Restating the comparative amounts for prior period(s) presented in which
the error occurred; or                                   IPSAS
* If the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restating the 3.47
opening balances of assets, liabilities and net assets/equity for the earliest
prior period presented.
3.8 Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognized by applying the spot IPSAS
exchange rate between the function currency and the foreign currency at the 4.24
transaction.
At each reporting date:
* Foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate;
* Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign IPSAS
currency shall be translated using the exchange rate at the date of the 4.27
transaction; and
* Nonmonetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency
shall be translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value
was determined.                                          IPSAS
4.32
Exchange differences arising (a) on the settlement of monetary items, or (b) on
translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were
translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial
statements, are recognized in surplus or deficit in the period in which they arise,
except as those arising on a monetary item that forms part of a reporting entity's
net investment in a foreign operation.
3.9 Revenue from non-exchange transactions
Recognition and Measurement of Assets from Non-Exchange Transactions
An inflow of resources from a non-exchange transaction, other than services in-
kind, that meets the definition of an asset are recognized as an asset if the  IPSAS
following criteria are met:                                    23.31
* It is probable that the future economic benefits or service potential
associated with the asset will flow to the entity; and
* The fair value of the asset can be measured reliably.
An asset acquired through a non-exchange transaction is initially measured at its
fair value as at the date of acquisition.

An inflow of resources from a non-exchange transaction recognized as an
asset is recognized as revenue, except to the extent that a liability is also
recognized in respect of the same inflow.                    IPSAS
23.44
As DSWD satisfies a present obligation recognized as a liability in respect of
an inflow of resources from a non-exchange transaction recognized as an
asset, it reduces the carrying amount of the liability recognized and recognizes
an amount of revenue equal to that reduction.                IPSAS
23.45
Measurement of Revenue from Non-Exchange Transactions
Revenue from non-exchange transactions is measured at the amount of the
increase in net assets recognized by the entity, unless a corresponding liability
is recognized.

The amount recognized as a liability in a non-exchange transaction is the best
estimate of the amount required to settle the present obligation at the reporting
date.
Fees and fines not related to taxes
The DSWD recognizes revenues from fees and fines, except those related to  IPSAS
taxes, when earned and the asset recognition criteria are met.  23.57
Other non-exchange revenues were recognized when it is probable that the
future economic benefits or service potential associated with the asset will flow
to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably.  IPSAS
23.89
Transfers from other government entities
Revenues from non-exchange transactions with other government entities and IPSAS
the related assets are measured at fair value and recognized on obtaining control 23.95
of the asset (cash, goods, services and property) if the transfer is free from  IPSAS
conditions and it is probable that the economic benefits or service potential 23.96
related to the asset will flow to the [Name of Entity] and can be measured reliably. IPSAS

3.10 Budget information
The annual budget is prepared on a cash basis and is published on the IPSAS
government website.                                         24
A separate Statement of Comparison of Budget and Actual Amounts (SCBAA)
was prepared since the budget and financial statements were not prepared on
a comparable basis. The SCBAA was presented showing the original and final
budget and the actual amounts on a comparable basis to the budget.
Explanatory comments are provided in the notes to the annual financial
statements.
3.11 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets                         IPSAS
21.26
Impairment of non-cash-generating assets
The DSWD assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that IPSAS
a non-cash-generating asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when 26.14
annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the DSWD estimates the
asset's recoverable service amount. An asset's recoverable service amount is
the higher of the non-cash generating asset's fair value less costs to sell and its
value in use.                                                IPSAS
26.14
Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable service amount,
the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable service
amount. The DSWD classifies assets as cash-generating assets when those
assets are held with the primary objective generating a commercial return.
Therefore, non-cash generating assets would be those assets from which the
DSWD does not intend (as its primary objective) to realize a commercial return.
3.12 Measurement uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IPSAS, requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting
amounts of assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of the revenues and expenses during the period. Items
requiring the use of significant estimates include the useful life of capital assets.
Estimates were based on the best information available at the time of
preparation of the financial statements and were reviewed annually to reflect
new information as it becomes available. Measurement uncertainty exists in
these financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
4. Changes in Accounting Policies
DSWD has not adopted any change in Accounting Policies for CY 2015. The 25 IPSAS had
been adopted beginning January 1, 2014 as per COA Resolution No. 2014-003 dated
January 24, 2014.
