Ang Joint Circular 2015-01 ay nagtatalaga ng mga partikular na aktibidad kung saan ang mga confidential fund ay maaari at hindi maaaring magamit. Hindi ito nagbibigay ng kapangyarihan na magpasya sa mga LGU na gumastos ng mga confidential fund sa paraang gusto nila.
Joint Circular 2015-01 prescribes specific activities where confidential funds can and cannot be used. It does not give LGUs discretion to spend confidential funds the way they want to.
