Account Code Changes from August 1st 2013
Account Code 550 – Mileage
The account rule will be amended to allow detailed posting of individuals from the payroll rather
than a single summary figure per project. This means that journals can optionally include the staff
number in category 3 of the posting string.
Account Code 446 – Non-contracted staff
Changes to University Reporting standards require that non-contracted staff will now be included in
staff costs and will be reported as pay rather than non-pay in all future reports. In order to achieve
this, Account Code 446 will be closed and replaced with Account Code 405 – Non-contracted Staff.
Within budget reports, the expenditure on account 405 will fall under pay rather than non-pay.
Account Code 971 – Professional Subscriptions
This will be re-named ‘Subscriptions – Professional Bodies and Learned Society’ in order to avoid
confusion with other types of subscriptions. Journal and publication subscriptions should use 562 –
Periodicals / Journals
Account code 562 – Periodicals
This will be renamed ‘Periodicals / Journals’ in order to clarify its use.
Account 701 – Computers – Central College Provision
This will be renamed ‘Computers – Purchase’ as the concept of a central college provision is no
longer meaningful.
Account 520, 521, 522, 524, 525 (Fax costs)
With changes in technology there is no longer a requirement to split fax costs into 5 different
accounts. Account 520 will be renamed ‘Fax Costs’ and 521,522,524,525 closed
Account 503, 504 and 505 (Typewriters, Dictation Equipment and Calculators)
With changes in technology, there is no longer a requirement to differentiate between small office
equipment like calculators and dictation machines. 503 will be renamed ‘Small office equipment
costs’ and 504 and 505 closed.
