Chart of Accounts

Chart of Accounts Is the Foundation of UTSA’s Financial Accounting System

UTSA’s decisions and business processes are dependent upon the flow of financial information. This flow of financial information is driven by the accounting and reporting system. At the heart of that system is the chart of accounts. We use the chart of accounts to segregate and categorize financial transactions. The basic unit of UTSA’s chart of accounts is the chartfield. Below are the chartfields we use in our financial accounting system.
