Overview of FBWT Account Definitions for CTA Reporting
Federal Program Agencies use the Classification Transactions and Accountability (CTA) component to report their monthly accounting activity to Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The accounting information submitted through the CTA serves as a basis for Treasury's publications to Congress and the public regarding federal revenues and expenditures.
The agency selects the accounts to be used in determining the transactions that are reported on the CTA bulk file. The agency should define the default agency location code (ALC) for each record to be used when the ALC can't be determined from a bank account.
The Manage CTA FBWT Account Definitions task enables you to manage Fund Balance with Treasury (FBWT) account definitions used for CTA reporting. You can add, modify, or delete account definitions.
The following table describes the FBWT account definition attributes:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Federal Group | Name of the federal group for the account definition. |
| Account | The account number of the account used to determine the transactions for CTA reporting. |
| Account Description | The description of the account. |
| BETC Type | The BETC type for the account, for example, Payment or Collection. |
| Agency Location Code | The agency location code (ALC) for the account definition. |
| ALC Name | The ALC name for the account definition. |
