Accounts are the basis for reporting for the Federal Government's financial transactions. Accounts are classified as receipt or expenditure accounts and are assigned to a fund type and treasury account code or funds group based on account characteristics and the nature of the transactions that the account supports.
Treasury account codes are required to run these processes:
FACTS I
FACTS II
Year-End Closing
Note: FACTS II uses the term Treasury Account Code and FACTS I uses the term Fund Group to refer to the same field.
Treasury account codes are also required to enter data in the Define Federal Account Symbols window.
These rollup groups are required by FACTS:
Clearing accounts
Deposit fund accounts
Unavailable receipt accounts for Treasury General Fund
Unavailable receipt accounts for Special and Trust Fund
Users define Treasury account codes in the Federal Account Symbols and Titles (FAST) Book, a supplement of the Treasury Financial Manual.
To define treasury account codes, navigate to the Define Treasury Account Codes window.
