Agreement Reforming the Government Accounting Manual
Considerations
That on December 31, 2008, the General Law of Government Accounting (LGCG) was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, which has as its object to establish the general criteria that will govern Government Accounting and the issuance of financial information by public entities, in order to achieve their adequate harmonization, to facilitate the registration 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 November 22, 2010, the Agreement by which the Government Accounting Manual is issued.
That it is necessary to carry out reforms to the Government Accounting Manual so that the financial information is consistent with the regulations issued by CONAC and complies with the objectives of the LGCG.
