2: Describe how the account number is built and define the various fields it contains.
3: Define if this current COA is sufficient for future needs, and if it reflects the Corporate view of a COA.
4: Please provide an Organization Chart of your enterprise.
5: How many periods do you define in a fiscal year? Can you provide a schedule of period closing for the past, current and next year?
6: Do your general ledger accounts fall into discrete number ranges (for example, cash accounts are 1000 - 1999)?
7: Can you define groups of general ledger accounts that require similar information on the master record?
8: Will creation and maintenance of the general ledger accounts be done at the corporate level or at the local/company code level?
