 Harvard's [chart of accounts](https://cs.fss.finance.harvard.edu/chart-accounts) provides the organizing framework for budgeting, recording, and reporting on all University financial transactions.

 The [Chart of Accounts](https://cs.fss.finance.harvard.edu/chart-accounts) is comprised of 7 Segments (Tub, Org, Object, Fund, Activity, Subactivity, and Root) that are used together to form the 33-digit account we use to transact in the financial systems. As of 2003, there are almost 170,000 values in Harvard's CoA and these values have been used together in over 1.3 million combinations. For additional information, please take the CWD course "[Chart of Accounts](https://trainingportal.harvard.edu/Saba/Web_spf/NA1PRD0068/common/ledetail/cours000000000003457)" and refer to the their [training document](/file_url/196).
