Use the chart of accounts to group and classify actuals and budgets for P&amp;L and Balance Sheet reporting. In this article we look at how to create and manage the chart of accounts. If your organisation is linked to MYOB, Xero or QuickBooks you must edit your chart of accounts in your accounting data and sync the changes to Calxa.
