Types of Funds

Consult the Office of Accounting’s guide to "Fund Accounting” for account types, usage, and purpose restrictions:

Handbook of Business Procedures: Part 2: Fund Accounting

The guide includes the account groups most common to the College of Liberal Arts:

14 and 20 accounts = state funds

19 accounts = designated funds (e.g., student fee or conference accounts)

26 accounts = grants

30 accounts = gift funds (endowed and non-endowed)

57 accounts = investment accounts for endowed funds
