AGREEMENT amending and adding to the Programmatic Classification (General Typology)

A logo appears at the margin, stating: National Council for Accounting Harmonization.

The National Council for Accounting Harmonization, based on articles 6, 7, 9, 14, 41, and 46, section III, subsection a), of the General Law of Governmental Accounting, approved the following:

AGREEMENT AMENDING AND ADDING TO THE PROGRAMMATIC CLASSIFICATION (GENERAL TYPOLOGY)

CONSIDERING

That on December 31, 2008, the General Law of Governmental Accounting (LGCG) was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, which aims to establish the general criteria governing Governmental Accounting and the issuance of financial information by public entities, in order to achieve their adequate harmonization, to facilitate the recording and auditing of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses by public entities, and, in general, to contribute to measuring the effectiveness, economy, and efficiency of public spending and income.

That within this framework and in compliance with its functions, the National Council for Accounting Harmonization (CONAC) published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on August 8, 2013, the Agreement by which the Programmatic Classification (General Typology) is issued.

That the modernization of the programmatic structure represents a fundamental measure to strengthen the quality of spending and improve public decision-making, based on the efficient, transparent, and strategic use of public resources as a permanent priority, in congruence with the principles of rationality, effectiveness, and efficiency.

That the programmatic structure constitutes the organizing axis of the budgetary exercise, allowing the allocation, monitoring, and evaluation of public resources through budgetary programs, which must contain the traceability of public spending, strengthen the logic of intervention of public policies, and facilitate their evaluation, allowing for a more precise response to demands for transparency, accountability, and control of the use of public resources; therefore, it is considered necessary to reorder programs under more appropriate budgetary modalities and generate a structure linked to the achievement of results.

That it is currently indispensable to review and adapt this instrument to the new challenges faced by public entities both at the federal and state and municipal levels, in two fundamental aspects: the incorporation of new public activities related to innovation and the environment, and the need to strengthen its applicability for public entities.

That governmental activities have evolved significantly, driven by technological transformations, economic globalization, and environmental crises, so that currently governments around the world allocate increasing resources to technological innovation, scientific research, experimental development, and environmental protection, which must be recognized in the programmatic structure through the incorporation of two new modalities: "Q: Research and Development", and "V: Environmental Protection and Conservation Services".

That the State's capacity to produce, systematize, and apply knowledge, whether on environmental, economic, health, or infrastructure issues, requires formal recognition in the programmatic structure. The creation of Modality "Q", "Research and Development", responds to the urgent need to recognize and make visible governmental activities related to knowledge production and applied innovation. In the contemporary context, the generation of scientific and technical information has become a fundamental input for effective and evidence-based public decision-making.

That without a specific programmatic space, these activities tend to dilute into generic categories, losing visibility and budgetary priority, given that governmental innovation not only implies the adoption of emerging technologies but also the development of own solutions to complex public problems. Elements such as technical studies, field analysis, specialized laboratories, and the production of censuses and surveys of public interest are activities that drive substantive improvements in the formulation and implementation of public policies.

That currently, programs oriented towards ecosystem conservation, protection of priority species, environmental restoration, and sustainable use of the environment lack a programmatic category that adequately distinguishes them within public spending; therefore, the inclusion of Modality "V", "Environmental Protection and Conservation Services", is essential in light of the growing recognition of the climate crisis and biodiversity loss as critical threats to the well-being of societies.

That a more precise classification will facilitate the planning, execution, and evaluation of these activities, so having a specific modality will allow greater visibility for environmental actions as strategic components of sustainable development; this would include, among others, reforestation programs, management of protected natural areas, environmental monitoring services, and protection of critical habitats.

That budgetary recognition of environmental services will contribute to strengthening the green economy approach in public finances, promoting investments in ecological restoration, natural risk mitigation, and community resilience.

That it is necessary to promote a programmatic restructuring that responds to the commitment to the efficiency of public spending, administrative simplification, and transparency in the use of resources, in order to consolidate an organizational base for the budget that allows showing greater clarity and monitoring of the priorities of federal, state, and municipal governments, and that allows transitioning towards a more coherent, strategic, and results-oriented exercise of spending, aligning it with both international best practices and the specific needs of public management at the three levels of government in Mexico.

That the programmatic structure represents a fundamental measure to strengthen the quality of spending and improve public decision-making, so it is indispensable to adapt this classifier to the new challenges faced by governments, both at the federal and subnational levels, taking into consideration the need to strengthen its applicability for states and municipalities, which allows clearly distinguishing programs oriented towards new public functions, such as technology incubation, promotion of clean energy, ecosystem restoration, or promotion of environmental services, which will be reflected in the Financial Statements of public entities as part of their assets, in congruence with the regulations issued by CONAC and the objectives of the LGCG.

For the above, the National Council for Accounting Harmonization approved the following:
