Effective fiscal management and administration is vital in fostering macroeconomic stability, the implementation and delivery of essential public services, and attaining sustainable growth and maintenance. Good financial management through the implementation and maintenance of sound fiscal policies is imperative to ensure that government offices use the available resources effectively, fulfill its mandates and commitments to its constituents, prepare for financial stability, avoid excess public debt, and prepare for unprecedented financial challenges and constraints that would hinder project implementations within the fiscal year. This study assessed the existing fiscal administration practices of Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur. This evaluates the existing revenues of the city as well as the development programs / projects. From what transpired in the study, the data revealed several salient yet far too important challenges that hampered Bayugan City’s thrust for attaining effective fiscal administration. This study found out that one of the many reoccurring challenges include the rising number of delinquent payers; prevalence of undeclared properties and assets which creates subsequent effects and poses a threat to social welfare as it reduces money and resources available in implementing social programs, as well as irregularities in cash flow; along with the lack of identified appropriations in the expenditures from the General Fund. If these “not-so-good” practices will continue to persist, the whole fiscal health of Bayugan City, ADS will be affected and so therefore its ability to serve the public in return. Thus, researcher recommended various intervention programs that Bayugan City, ADS should start to abate the problems and concerns, thus will result to strong fiscal health. The strong fiscal health in return can be a feeder towards sustainability in the long-term.
