The Revised Chart of Accounts
As Object Code in the
Unified Account Code Structure

29
Purposes of Object Classification and Coding

 To capture all financial transactions such as

goods or services acquired, payments made,
revenue sources and the causes of increases
or decreases in assets and liabilities.

 To enable the classification and coding of

transactions for reporting of impact of
government revenues and expenditures
on the economy as well as internal
departmental analysis and decision-making
by oversight agencies. 30
 The object coding in the information system
provides a repository of government-wide
information which can be used by oversight
agencies without requiring departments and
agencies to respond to individual requests.

 Provides a basis for coding the object

classification which uses accrual accounting
requiring transactions to be recorded in the
period when they occur and not only when
cash or equivalents are received or paid.
