A Chart of Accounts Crosswalk is a Financial Mapping Dataset that links corresponding accounts between two Chart of Accounts to enable consistent Financial Data Translation.
- AKA: COA Mapping, Account Code Crosswalk.
- Context:
- It can establish Directional Mappings from source to target Chart of Accounts.
- It can achieve complete coverage where every Account Code in the source Chart of Accounts maps to the target.
- It can be decomposed into Hierarchical Mappings for each CoA Component (e.g., Fund Code, Department Code, Object Code).
- It can support Automated Financial Reconciliation between different Accounting Systems.
- It can range from being a Simple Account Mapping to being a Complex Multi-Level Crosswalk, depending on its Hierarchical Depth.
- Example(s):
- Counter-Example(s):
- Chart of Accounts Template, which provides a standard structure rather than mapping between accounts.
- Account Code List, which only enumerates accounts without establishing relationships.
- Financial Data Dictionary, which defines accounts but doesn't map between systems.
