Manage Treasury Account Symbols
The Manage Treasury Account Symbols task lets you define identification codes for individual appropriations, receipts, and other fund accounts of an agency.
The Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) is assigned by the Treasury, in collaboration with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the agency itself. The TAS is used to classify all financial transactions of the federal government for reporting to the Treasury and OMB. The TAS is derived from the internal fund code at the time of the reporting.
This table describes the values that you see on the Manage Treasury Account Symbols page:
