Chart of Accounts (COA) Crosswalk Tool
|
The COA Crosswalk Tool was developed to create a user friendly “crosswalk” between elements of the old Chart of Accounts (Chart 1) and the new Patriot Chart (Chart P). No login information is required to access the Crosswalk Tool; however, users must be connected directly to a Mason Network or remotely through VPN. Additional information about the COA Redesign project and Chart Elements are available at https://coa.gmu.edu/. The COA Crosswalk Guide is available here and includes a link to the Crosswalk application https://fiscal.gmu.edu/wp-content/uploads/Crosswalk-Tool-Quick-Guide.pdf.
