Chart of Accounts is a list of all the Accounts envisaged by the company's Accounts Department as necessary for its accounting records. These shall receive total values daily posted by Accounting.
Charts of Accounts are prepared by companies to meet their requirements and legislation in force (currently, Law Nr. 6,404 dated from November 15th, 1976 - Brazilian Corporate Law).
The Chart of Accounts must be flexible, so that changes can be made with no damage to unity. Accounts must be arranged, grouped so that implementation of the chart of accounts is easier.
In addition, the chart of accounts cannot be too summarized to the point of not providing information required by diverse users. On the other hand, it should not be excessively detailed to the point of generating unnecessary information.
The number of accounts in a chart of accounts depends on volume and nature of a company's business. However, while structuring the chart of accounts (called Accounting Structuring), interests of users (managers, investors, tax authorities, etc.) must be considered. A large metallurgical company, for instance, may require (and normally requires) that salaries and social charges for factory workers, sales staff, administrative people and top management fees are given prominence in the chart of accounts. However, for a large audio systems shop, a single prominent salary expense account may be enough.
Bear in mind that a detailed study must be carried out before implementing the Chart of Accounts because, once it is used, restructuring it is not viable.
