Why are Charts of Accounts Customisation important?
A Chart of Accounts is used by companies to organize their finances. When a company
reaches a certain size, more sophisticated operations require more detailed and
tailored
reporting, segmented by processes and by each manager's area of responsibility.
A Chart of Accounts is also important if a company decides to acquire and install a
new
computerized system for controlling its operations,
ensuring the new system's general ledger might result in a chart of accounts which
is
different from the previous chart of accounts.
Customising a Chart of Accounts also allows you to create comparative Profit and
Loss
for individual nominal codes, e.g. compare single entry through the selected time
period.
What does ProudNumbers offer?
In Sage 50, after running management reports, your nominal accounts are categorised,
allowing you to analyse your expenditure, liabilities, assets, capital and income,

to
create a new, customised Chart of Accounts based on the Sage 50 charts.
With ProudNumbers, you can:
- Create new Categories
- Add/ delete nominal codes to Category
- Check Chart of Accounts for errors
- Target nominal codes for reporting (Profit & Loss, Balance sheet)
All using a very simple drag-and-drop function.
ProudNumbers also allows you to re-run the same reports with different charts of
accounts to serve either different people in the company or if there was a need to
change the Chart of Accounts.
