The term “Budget, Accounting and Statistics Agencies ("BAS Agencies") as mentioned in the Act shall refer to Agencies in charge of the budget, accounting and statistics affairs within governments of all levels, public organizations, public schools, state-owned enterprises, and organizations governing state-owned enterprises (hereinafter referred to as "organizations").
The Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan is the central BAS Agency in charge of the nation's BAS affairs.

First-level BAS Agencies mentioned in the Act consist of the following:
1. BAS Agencies of the Office of the President, National Security Council, Executive Yuan, Legislative Yuan, Judicial Yuan, Examination Yuan, and Control Yuan.
2. BAS Agencies of central second-level agencies and organizations or independent organizations equivalent to central second-level organizations, provincial governments, and provincial consultative councils.

The Comptrollers of Central BAS Authority and the personnel of organizations that take charge of the overall budget, accounting and statistics affairs are categorized as “Responsible BAS Personnel”, whereas the others are categorized as “BAS Assistants”.

The establishment of BAS Agencies and staff quota standards shall be stipulated by the Central BAS Authority on the basis of factors such as the grade of the agency in question, its organizational form, the number of its subordinate agencies and organizations, and the level of complexity of the BAS affairs.

The BAS Agencies of central government organizations shall be established in accordance with BAS agency establishment and staff quota standards; when standards for establishing a BAS agency are met, the agency's name and the titles of its Responsible BAS Personnel shall be determined as follows:
1. A Department of BAS, Department of Accounting, or Department of Statistics shall be headed by a Director.
2. A BAS Office, Accounting Office, or Statistics Office shall be headed by a Chief.
A Department of BAS, Department of Accounting, or Department of Statistics mentioned in the preceding Paragraph may have a Deputy Director.
When a first-level BAS agency establishes a Department or Office of BAS, it may establish a separate Department or Office of accounting or Department or a separate Office of statistics in view of the country's statistical service needs. When a first-level BAS Agency only establishes a Department or Office of BAS, its subordinate BAS Agencies at all levels shall, as a rule, establish BAS Offices. If, in view of special circumstances, there is indeed a need for an independent statistical unit, the Agency may establish a separate Accounting Office and Statistics Office. When a first-level BAS Agency establishes a separate Department or Office of accounting and Department or Office of statistics, its subordinate BAS Agencies at all levels shall, depending on statistical service needs, establish separate Accounting and Statistics Offices; however, if statistical matters are simple, the Agency shall establish a BAS Office, and the BAS Office shall assign specific personnel to perform statistical matters.
If, due to service needs or special circumstances, statistical units mentioned in Paragraph 1 must be merged to perform matters of a similar nature at the organization, the organization to which the first-level BAS Agency is subordinate shall give its consent after consulting the Central BAS Authority, and the new unit must be given a separate name; the titles of the Responsible BAS Personnel and Deputy positions shall be determined as specified in Paragraphs 1 and 2 on the basis of the Offices and Departments that have been established. The BAS staff quota and BAS personnel management matters of such a statistical unit shall be managed pursuant to the BAS system, and the management shall be specified in the Agency's organizational regulation.
When an organization has not established a statistical unit, statistical matters shall be implemented by the organization's BAS Agency.

The BAS Agencies of local government organizations shall be established in accordance with BAS Agency establishment and staff quota standards; when standards for establishing a BAS Agency are met, the Agency's name and the titles of its Responsible BAS Personnel shall be determined as follows:
1. A Department of BAS established by a special municipality government shall be headed by a Director.
2. When an organization subordinate to a special municipality government establishes an Accounting Office, it shall be headed by a Chief; when the organization has a heavy load of statistical matters, it may also establish a separate Statistics Office, which shall be headed by a Chief.
3. A Department of BAS established by a county or city government shall be headed by a Director.
4. When an organization subordinate to a county or city government establishes an Accounting Office, it shall be headed by a Chief; when the organization has a heavy load of statistical matters, it may also establish a separate Statistics Office, which shall be headed by a Chief.
5. A BAS Office established by a township or city public office shall be headed by a Chief.
In the preceding Paragraph, a Department of BAS of a special municipality government shall also have a Deputy Director; a county or city government Department of BAS may have a Deputy Director.
If an organization has not established a statistical unit, statistical matters shall be implemented by the organization's BAS Agency.

An organization that fails to meet the standards of BAS agency establishment for offices and departments as well as staff quota standards, shall handle the situation employing one of the following approaches:
1. It may be handled by the BAS Agency of its supervisory organization, in which case the budgeted amount and budget personnel quota may be calculated together with the BAS personnel quota of the supervisory organization in question.
2. In the case of central government fourth-level organizations as well as second-level organizations subordinate to special municipality and county or city governments, and the Executive of the service unit has a grade of recommended appointment below 8th rank, a dedicated BAS position may be established to perform relevant matters, and that person's title shall be BAS Personnel, Accountant, or Statistician.
3. The supervisory organization's BAS agency may assign BAS Personnel to perform relevant matters concurrently.
4. The same competent Authority may merge BAS Agencies established by several subordinate organizations into one.
5. The supervisory organization's BAS Agency may request the organization in question to select appropriate personnel from that organization and assign them concurrently pursuant to the BAS system.
The competent Authority mentioned in Subparagraph 4 of the preceding Paragraph means the organization to which these first-level BAS Agencies are subordinate.
The dedicated BAS Personnel mentioned in Subparagraph 2 of Paragraph 1 shall be considered as BAS Agencies. The Personnel mentioned in Subparagraphs 3 or 5 of Paragraph 1 assigned to bear responsibility of the organization's BAS affairs concurrently shall be considered as Responsible BAS Personnel. While such concurrent Personnel shall bear the title of Director, when the Executive of the service unit in question has a grade of recommended appointment below 8th rank, and is responsible for the organization's BAS affairs, concurrent Personnel at central government fourth-level organizations and second-level organizations subordinate to special municipality and county or city governments shall bear a title of BAS Personnel, Accountant, or Statistician.

The name of an organization's BAS Agency shall be determined in that organization's organizational regulation.
The grades of an organization's BAS Personnel shall be determined based on the organization's organizational regulation or applicable position grading table regulations. The grades of Responsible BAS Personnel should generally be equivalent to those of the organization's first-level service unit Executives.

Depending on the level of complexity of its functions, a Department of BAS, Department of Accounting, or Department of Statistics may establish separate divisions or sections to perform its functions. A BAS Office, Accounting Office, or Statistics Office may establish separate divisions, sections, or units to perform its functions.

Any matter in connection with the title of BAS Agency of an organization, or the titles and ranks of its Responsible BAS Personnel, or its internal organization, to which the provisions of Article 6, 7 and abovementioned Articles hereof are inapplicable, may be determined under the internal organization rules of such organization and by comparison to its other personnel of the same rank.
