Expenditure Classification Handbook consolidated into one document for ease of reference and navigation

Filing cabinet labels in alphabetical order

The Office of the Comptroller is pleased to announce that the Expenditure Classification Handbook has now been consolidated into one document for ease of reference and navigation. 

The single file for the Expenditure Classification Handbook is available at http://pc6u.253000xa.com/expenditure-classification-handbook/. 

At this time, no substantive changes have been made to object classes or object codes. 

VIEW THE HANDBOOK

The Handbook has been updated so that internal links will now take users to that object class within the document itself, rather than opening a new document. The document is hosted on PowerDMS, but a PowerDMS login is not required to view the Handbook. 

Please contact the Office of the Comptroller Solution Desk with questions regarding the Expenditure Classification Handbook.
