[en] Manage the Chart of accounts (ACC)

[en] The chart of accounts provides the structure for the general ledger. Adapting of the chart of accounts is necessary to make the book-keeping system fit the economic activity of the business. The chart of accounts is actually unique for each company, but there are substantial similarities, so it is possible to import a standard chart of accounts when starting up your business accounting. A chart of accounts contains an overview of your ledger accounts.

[en] The Chart of accounts (ACC) application can be used to both adapting the chart of accounts, and to examine the values and underlying transactions posted to each account.

[en] Together with a very flexible use of Account groups (ACG), a RamBase Chart of accounts (ACC) fits into most fiscal structures.
