GENERAL PROVISIONS 1. Non-refundable aids constitute a source of State budget revenue and must be accounted into the budget and settled according to the State Budget contents. The non-refundable aids include: Aids in Vietnamese currency, foreign currencies, commodity, assets in form of aid programs, projects in the non-business and administrative fields and capital construction investment or non-programs, - projects of humanitarian nature, which are approved by competent authorities, and the emergency relief as well as aid for overcoming consequences of natural disasters. 2. The ministries, commissions, branches, mass organizations, social organizations of the central and local levels, the Finance-Pricing Services of the provinces and centrally-run cities, aid project- managing boards and units receiving and using non-refundable aids (hereinafter called units for short) shall all have to account fully, accurately and promptly the received and used aid amounts and settle the aid sources like the source of allocated State budget funds according to the provisions of the current accounting regime and the provisions of this Circular. 3. In accounting non-refundable aids, Vietnam Dong must be used as the currency unit. In case of foreign currencies, such foreign currencies must be converted into Vietnam Dong at the accounting exchange rates announced by the Ministry of Finance in each period or at the exchange rates prescribed by the Commercial Bank at the time of converting the currencies provided by the donors. For aids in kind, they must be accounted in quantity and value of the aid goods on the basis of the goods prices in foreign currencies for conversion into Vietnam Dong. Where the aid goods have no prices, the pricing council shall base itself on the actual conditions of the goods and the prices of similar goods items imported in the same period to determine the prices. 4. Accounting objects: The aid-receiving units shall only account the amounts of aid money and goods they have actually received from foreign countries, including Vietnamese currency, foreign currencies, assets and goods certified by the Ministry of Finance as aids, and shall not account the aid amounts spent directly by foreign parties on experts, consultants, training, study tours, surveys, practices and other amounts spent abroad without vouchers to determine the above-said expenditures. 5. Aid-receiving units must open accounting books and make financial reports like accounting of allocated State budget funds and monitor the reception, use and settlement of foreign aid sources, the budget-allocated reciprocal sources, the self-supplemented sources according to the State Budget Contents. For aid-receiving units which are required by the donors to submit vouchers (the originals) and to make the financial reports according to forms set by the donors, they must additionally open accounting books and make the financial reports as provided for by the donors. Before submitting the originals of vouchers to the donors, the units must photocopy each voucher with certification by the unit heads. Those copied vouchers certified by the unit heads shall be considered lawful and valid vouchers which shall serve as basis for accounting the reception, use and settlement of the revenue sources and the use of aids by the units. 6. Organizing the accounting work: Depending on the organization of each aid program and/or project by ministries, branches, mass organizations and social organizations (hereinafter called the ministries and branches for short) and localities, the accounting of aid projects shall be organized at the ministries, branches, provincial/municipal Services and project-executing units as follows: 6.1.

The superior project management boards or the coordinating agencies shall have to synthesize the settlement of mini-projects in localities. When distributing aid money and/or goods to mini-projects in localities, they shall account them through Account "Funds allocated to the subordinates," then incorporate all the received aid sources into Account "Funding sources" and account the use of aid sources for mini-projects into Account "Funding expenditure."
