We are currently in the process of planning our implementation of the Financial Edge and I am wondering whether anyone would be willing to share their chart of accounts with me. We are a PK-12 school and so educational facilities information would be most helpful. Thank you. Vicki Roberts Business Manager Academy of the Holy Names Albany, NY

I too would be interested in seeing a chart of accounts for financial edge, if it were easy for an organization to share Helen Goldberg The Winsor School 617-912-1359 [Email Removed] [i]--- Edited at 4/25/2006 12:55:33 PM by Helen Goldberg[/i]

Numbering is done with gaps so future items can be added and kept alphabetical. See attachment. http://www.blackbaud.com/support/forums/feclientdocs.aspx  --- Edited at 5/1/2006 3:55:12 PM by James Mahnke

Hi Vicki, Our organization uses a chart of accounts based on the Unified Chart of Accounts developed by the National Center for Charitable Statistics. According to NCCS "the system is designed so that nonprofits can can quickly and reliably translate their financial statements into the categories required by the IRS Form 990, the federal Office of Management and Budget, and into other standard reporting formats. UCOA also seeks to promote uniform accounting practices throughout the nonprofit sector." The chart is available free to the public. I sent a copy to Blackbaud to share on the Client Documents forum. Here are some links for more information: From the NCCS site: http://nccsdataweb.urban.org/FAQ/index.php?category=77  From the California Association of Non-Profits site: http://www.canonprofits.org/financial/990web.html  A Jossey-Bass (Wiley) publishers book on the subject: http://www.josseybass.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0787952133,descCd-tableOfContents.html  Best wishes on your implementation!
