We are in the beginning stages of setting up the account structure in FE. Would like to see some information on the account structure used by other FE users

We use Fund-subfund-Acct-Dept x-xx-xxxx-xxx Assets 0000-1999 Liability 2000-2999 Fund Balance 3000-3999 Revenue 4000-4999 Expense 5000-9599 Transfer 9600-9999

We use a fund-dept-acct-location structure that looks like this: xx-xxxx-xxxxx-x

We just use a simple fund structure xx-xxxx Fund and then account number. We have 3 funds 01, 02, & 03. Endowed, Restructed and Unrestricted. The account numbers are the standard breakdown 1000-1999 Assets 2000-2999 Liabilities, 4000 accounts revenue, 5000 & 6000 account expenses and 7001 account we use for transfers between funds.

Our account structure is very similar. We use three funds and 4 digit account codes. Our account ranges are approximately the same as well. Michael Bankert VP, Finance & Administration California State Parks Foundation

We use xx-xxxx-xxxx fund, acct, dept. This allows us very flexible reporting.

We use xx-xxxx-xxxx 1. x=restriction 2. x=fund 3. x=account class 4-6. xxx=account number 7-8. xx-dept 9-10. xx=any additional designations (i.e.-college counseling as a sub-department of upper school) We use projects to for detail in areas where there are many sub-departments and we do not want to create so many general ledger accounts such as sports within the athletic department. This gives us a lot of flexibility in creating reports.

We aligned with the Unified Chart of Accounts found at: NCCS - National Center for Charitable Statistics This is a project connected with the Urban Institute to align tas and grant reporting so that we can focus on what we do best and not have to adapting data to complete many different types of reporting. With this chart we then used a structure of ff-aaaa-ll-dd-ppp which is fund-account code-location-department-program with the project managment package to track the various grants under the programs. We gave staff a cheat sheet for purchase orders and they know to "pick" one item off of each list in each category.

We use xx- for Restricted, temp restricted and perm restricted x-balance sheet, revenue and expenses xx-department xxxxx-core account number Jeff Young CFO Diabetes Research Institute Foundation 1-800-321-3437
