Even though each organization's chart of accounts is unique, most nonprofit and churches use a universal numbering system to avoid confusion for your staff, bookkeepers, accountants, and financial institutions. Standard Numbering Convention: 1000'S ASSETS 2000'S LIABILITIES 3000'S EQUITY 4000'S INCOME 5000 or 6000+ EXPENSES Account numbers are often five or more digits in length with each digit representing a division of the company, the department, the type of account, etc. The account numbers are usually 5 or more digits, so we can break out that main category of numbers into more detailed groups. Note: if you did an internet search on chart of accounts (COA) numbering...you would find the basic number system above...but when you start drilling it down...you will see a variety of numbering systems. All will appear in the same order (eg: ASSETS: Cash, Undeposited Funds, Receivables, Current Assets, Fixed Assets, etc.) BUT the number grouping will be different, so just remember you can use any numbering system you deem appropriate.

While this software is adequate for basic bookkeeping functions, it has become apparent that QuickBooks cannot provide the needed financial reporting for Auditors and for GASB required reporting standards, without the extra effort of spreadsheet applications and reconciliations that are external to the software. Addition- ally, in recent years the District has had an obligation to report on restricted funding revenue and expenses that should be reported as separate funds. The last three Audits have encountered significant delays with the current reporting using QuickBooks software for the District Finances. The cost for the Audits has the potential to be reduced with the change to a fund accounting platform. The time saved for staff would also be reduced to prepare for the Audit with a more appropriate software. With this in mind, Staff contacted a software
