V. Chart of Accounts (COA) Governance
Guide to Financial Operations

The Account ChartField identifies type of resources acquired or disbursed and defines the purpose of a transaction.

Account is required on all transactions. Account is considered a statewide ChartField, and as such has been configured under the SHARE SetID, which means all agencies will be able to access the complete list of Account codes in the SFS.

The Account ChartField is five alphanumeric characters in length. Numeric codes are used for all budgetary and transactional values with the exception of conversion-only and configuration-specific values, to which alphanumeric values have been assigned for easy identification.

Account ranges are assigned to Account types as follows:

Balance Sheet  
Assets/Deferred Outflows of Resources 10000-19999
Liabilities/Deferred Inflows of Resources 20000-21999
Fund Balance 25000-25999

There are two Statewide Account Reporting Trees on the SFS Program website: one to capture the budgetary basis of account groupings and one to capture Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)-basis account groupings. Both trees are organized as follows:

Level 1: Total State

Level 2: Account Type

Level 3: Account Category

Levels 4 through 7: Account Sub-Category

To add or modify an Account value, complete the COA Change Request Form which can be found on SFSSecure and submit it to [email protected].
