The Process

From proposed change to industry standard

Historically, the Chart of Accounts was revised on an irregular basis, with changes surfacing outside of any defined process for industry input. This page describes the annual cadence, how the industry can participate, and the path a proposed change follows from submission to implementation.

How a change moves through the Council

Every submission needs support.
