Chart of Accounts
The Chart of Accounts (COA) is a listing of all account numbers in the University’s financial system that allows departments to track revenues and expenses that impact their budgets. It also allows the University to record our assets (e.g. cash, investments, buildings), liabilities (e.g. debt, accounts payable to vendors), and net assets. This is information is used as the basis for financial reporting and making decisions.
A project team, consisting of representatives from Business and Finance, Academic Affairs, and Information Technology has completed a Planning and Assessment phase which confirmed the need for a new chart. The project team also completed a blue-print structure that will serve the university’s financial reporting needs into the next several years.
The COA redesign will impact the entire University and many of our systems. Please review the FAQ (PDF), which answers common questions you may have. If you work with account numbers in any way, it will be very important for you to familiarize yourself with the information attached. Further questions can be emailed to finance@capital.edu.
