— Finance personnel play critical roles in the financial management and budgeting communities. The knowledge, skills, and attitudes known as “basic competencies” are those that are equally important in other professions and in establishing a friendly working environment with other professionals. The objective of this study is to foster and heighten the performance of a government agency through enhancing the competencies and performance of finance officers in the selected Schools Division Offices in the National Capital Region. The study utilized the descriptive research method with the use of the survey questionnaire as the major instrument for gathering data. This particular method is chosen because of its appropriateness to the problem since the main thrust of the study is to assess the core competencies in relation to their work performance levels of finance employees in selected divisions in the Department of Education – National Capital Region (DepEd – NCR). A proposed intervention program was developed as a guide in enhancing the core competencies of the finance officers/employees in the DepEd – NCR in terms of accountability, interpersonal relations, job knowledge, customer service, and communication. Also, the work performance as to research and development, self-development, information technology, knowledge management, and empowerment. The proposed intervention program consists of different projects to effectively and efficiently address the core competencies and work performance of the finance officers in Schools Division Offices and Public Schools. These are Project SAKTO (Ensuring Systematic, Accountable, KeenlyObserved, and Transparent Financial Operation) and Project TIPID (Timely Implementation of Professional activities for an Improved Performance and Delivered Financial Services).
