74 O.S. § 212.1
The State Auditor and Inspector, or his designee, shall advise county officers on procedural and technical
matters relating to accounting and budget procedures. It shall be the duty of the county officers with notice
of such advice to follow the instructions or advice of the State Auditor and Inspector until relieved of such
duty by a court of competent jurisdiction or until the Supreme Court shall hold otherwise.
The State Auditor and Inspector shall prescribe a uniform system of bookkeeping for the use of all county
officials to afford a suitable check upon their mutual acts and ensure a thorough inspection, and to ensure
the safety of the state and county funds. He shall have full authority to prescribe a system of bookkeeping
for all county officers which shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as applied
to governmental units, except when in conflict with Oklahoma Statutes, and when necessary instruct or
cause to be instructed the state and county officers in the proper mode of keeping the accounts. Provided
however, when a conflict with Oklahoma Statutes arises concerning accounting systems for those counties
utilizing electronic data processing, the county may request in writing that the State Auditor and Inspector
approve an alternate accounting procedure. The State Auditor and Inspector shall have the authority to
approve or disapprove such requests. Annually, the State Auditor and Inspector shall provide a report of
those counties requesting alternate accounting systems to the Speaker of the House of Representatives
and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. The State Auditor and Inspector shall not change any
accounting systems or procedures during the last year of his term of office that would have an impact on
the ability of any independent licensed public accountant to provide auditing services to such officers. He
shall make a thorough examination of the books, accounts and vouchers of such officers, ascertaining in
detail the various items of receipts and expenditures. He shall report to the Governor the refusal or neglect
of any state or county officer to obey his instruction. He shall make a report of the result of his examination,
which shall be filed in the Office of the State Auditor and Inspector, as well as any failure of duty by any
financial officers, and the Governor may cause the result of such examination to be published. Provided,
that no county officer shall be required to discard any books or supplies on hand.

The financial management processes of county governments vary; but in each county, resources are used
generally to provide for the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens. County governments in
Oklahoma collectively spend millions of dollars each year for these various functional activities.
The goal involved in the preparation of this Manual is to inform, instruct, and to set guidelines for the use
of the uniform system of accounting for Oklahoma counties. The material contained in this Manual is
organized so that the material can be supplemented as time and usage direct. The State Auditor welcomes
any comments or suggestions that the user of this Manual would care to submit about the material
contained herein.
This manual is issued by the State Auditor and Inspector of Oklahoma to the county officials and others to
acquaint them with the Chart of Accounts to be used in Oklahoma Counties. It will be the responsibility
of the manual holders to maintain an up-to-date copy for references.
Explanation
The Chart of Accounts becomes a framework for the systematic reporting and accounting for county
government transactions. The classification and coding structure becomes an effective system only if used
throughout the budgeting, accounting, and reporting cycles.
Identifying Number
The county number is a number in the coding structure which signifies the governmental unit. As a
practical matter, the county identification number will be useful in auditing multiple counties.
Fiscal Year
The fiscal year is a number in the coding structure which is designed to allow for parallel accounting during
a transition from one fiscal year to the next. Fiscal year designation is necessary for those transaction
which are automated and/or capable of processing accounting information related to more than one
accounting period. (Example: Paying purchase order from prior FY in current year.) The fiscal year is
defined as the last two digits of the calendar year in which the fiscal year ends.
I
Fund
A fund is defined as an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts
which records cash and other resources together with all related receipts, disbursements, liabilities and
unobligated balance.
The code structure for identification of funds is a four position numeric series. The four digit number is
able to provide the flexibility needed to handle the many special funds used by counties. The classification
of county funds uses the standard classes of funds as recommended in the GAAFR 1 for governmental
accounting systems. The fund code is arranged so that funds of the same general type are grouped within
a specific set of numbers.
x xxxx
GENERAL FUND: The fund is used to account for all financial
resources, except those required to be accounted for in
0 General another fund. Usually tax supported activities
A fund is used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue
sources (other than expendable trusts or major capital
projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for
specified purposes. The uses and limitations of each Special
Revenue Fund are specified by the legal authority creating it,
and the resources of a given Special Revenue Fund generally
1 Special 1100-1999 cannot be diverted to other uses.
A fund created to account for financial resources to be used
for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities
(other than those financed by proprietary funds and trust
2 Capital Projects 2000-2999 funds).
A fund established to account for the accumulation of
resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt
principal and interest. Sometimes referred to as a SINKING
3 Debt Service 3000-3999 FUND .
The trust and agency funds used to account for assets held by
a government unit in a trustee capacity or as an agent for
individuals, private organizations, other government units
4 Special Assessments 4000-4999 and/or other funds.
A fund established to account for operations financed and
5 Enterprise 5000-5999 operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises.
A fund used to account for the financing of goods or services
provided by one department or agency to other departments
or agencies of a government, or to other governments, on a
6 Internal Service 6000-6999 cost reimbursement basis.
Funds used to account for assets held by a government in a
trustee capacity for individuals, private organizations, other
7 Trust and Agency 7000-7999 governments and/or other fund.
8 General Fixed Assets 8000-8999
9 General long Term Debt 9000-9999

Example:
Function
The function classification is a one-digit placing in the coding structure that recognizes the major
responsibilities of county government. The classification groups related Funds/Departments aimed at
accomplishing a major services or program for which a government is responsible (for example, sheriff,
fire and emergency management are classified as #2, public safety). See Chapter 2.4.

Example:
Department
The department/program number is a number in the coding structure which identifies the smallest
organization unit for which budget and accounting information is to be processed and measured. The
III
originating department/program of a transaction is responsible for assigning the appropriate
department/program number. The first 2 digits identify the department and the last two positions are
for optional use by the county to establish a program. See Chapter 2.5
Example:
Account
The account number is a four-digit number in the coding structure which identifies the classification of an
accounting entry. The first number identifies the account type the following three numbers identify the
detail.
Example: All maintenance and operation expenditures begin with the “2”. The expenditures codes allow
the user to identify and separate expenditures in detail, or simply have one M&O for all expenditure. All
revenue codes will begin with the number “9”.

Summary
This is a “living” document and will be subject to changes as laws change providing additional funding or
programs. Your county may have unique funding opportunity and program that are not identified in the
Chart of accounts. The flexibility of the structures allows for additions. However, any addition must have
the approval of the State Auditor and Inspector. Revisions of this manual are the responsibility of the
State Auditor and Inspector.
The following Chapters provide the detail listing of the code structure introduced above.

SOP #16 –
Single Grant Revolving Fund
Due to the Volume of Grants being awarded annually to counties the following change will be made to
assigning those Grants to the COA – Effective 9-1-2019. The overall changes allows for a Single Grant
Revolving Fund per Grant Category (i.e. REAP, CDBG, BIA, etc.)
NO CHANGES NEED TO Be MADE TO ANY ASSIGNMENTS ALREADY MADE. Use the current COA
assignment. When the Grant is closed out you may render the current assignment as inactive.
The Treasurer’s office will have ONE fund per grant type on the General Ledger (Example: REAP,
CDBG, BIA, CENA, etc.) See COA for Grant Number assignments (page xx)

be helpful. This will help identify the department receiving the funds. May consider using the
department number as the sub source number.
The Clerk will have multiple Departments under the Grant Fund designating the recipient of the
Grant (Example: Highway District #1, Senior Citizen, Emergency Management, Rural Fire).

SOP #20
Banking Fees
Banking fees are a part of normal business. Historically counties have been able to
pay banking fees by an agreement with the bank for the fees to be withheld from
interest earned. This has changed with some banks and the fees are greater than
interest earned. In order to pay these fees and track the expense appropriately
we recommend paying the banking fees from the general fund. Since the County
treasurer is the banker for the county, the county should budget for these fees
within the treasurer’s general fund department. This budget category is not
meant to be a burden on the funding for operations of the treasurer’s office, it is
an expense to the county as a whole.
Budgeting for and paying banking fees
Treasurer should make arrangement with the bank for periodically sending an invoice to the county
for banking fees. The invoice will be paid by PO and warrant.
Treasurer will request estimated amount for banking fees in the estimate of needs as a line item
expense category (0001-1-0600-2022). Although the treasurer is the requisition officer for these
fees, this expense category will be used strictly for banking fees and not for general operations of the
treasurer’s office.
If the budgeted amount is insufficient, the board of county commissioners will transfer additional
funds into the account.
Any residual balance in this account will lapse at year end unless otherwise approved by the board for
transfer to another general fund account.
