Bs. As., 14/08/98.

B. O.: 20/08/98.

VISTO Act No. 11.672, Supplementary Permanent Budget (T. 1997), Act No. 24.452 and Decree No. 153/96, 940/96, 197/97 and 553/97, the provisions of Act No. 24.156 and Decree No. 1361/94, and

CONSIDERING:

That, pursuant to article 7 of Act No. 24,452 the ARGENTIN REPUBLIC CENTRAL BANCO collects the funds obtained by the application of the fines provided by that Act, transferring them to the COORDINATION COMMITTEE FOR PROGRAMMES WITH DISCAPACITY, established by Decree No. 153/96 and coordinated by the NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE

That the above funds should be allocated exclusively to the financing of comprehensive care programmes for persons with disabilities.

The rules set forth in the Financial Administration Act No. 24,156 and the National Public Sector Control Systems are applicable to the case, as prescribed in article 8, as soon as it imposes accountability for subsidies or contributions that have been agreed upon to private organizations and institutions or funds whose administration, custody or conservation is the responsibility of the National State through its jurisdictions or entities.

That, in turn, Decree No. 1361/94, adopting Partial Regulation No. 3 of the aforementioned Law, adds to the regulation of Article 6, approved by Decree No. 2666/92, as point 5 that: "The holders of the ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FINANCIALS shall be responsible for the development of centralized accountability of the scope of their competence, in accordance with the rules, procedures and deadlines to be determined by the General CONTADURIA of NATION, incorporating the financial statements and any other information to verify the effective and efficient use of the allocated resources. The aforementioned surrender and the supporting documents of the same will be archived in the respective financial ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE, ordered in such a way that they facilitate the conduct of the appropriate audits".

That the main purpose of any accountability is to verify that the purpose for which the contributions were granted has been duly satisfied and that the funds have been properly utilized.

That the supporting documentation of the operations, consisting of invoices, remits and receipts to require Governmental and non-Governmental agencies, cannot be turned into their originals, since it is the sustenance of their respective accounting systems.

That, on the merits, it becomes necessary, timely and appropriate to proceed with the establishment of specific counter-lord and accountability guidelines for the conferred subsidies and that they are subsequently complied with by the rule of Act No. 24.452.

That, for its part, it may be appropriately established, with regard to non-governmental institutions seeking the granting of subsidies or contributions under the conditions in question, that in order to have the right to such benefits they must comply with the requirements contained in articles 7 and 8 of Law No. 11.672, Permanent Budget Complementary (T. 1997).

That the present measure is in use of the emerging powers of article 99, paragraph 2 of the National Constitution.

Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION
