DCA Board adopted the Uniform Chart of Accounts for Local Governments in Georgia – Fourth Edition

The Fourth Edition of the Uniform Chart of Accounts (UCOA) for Local Governments was approved by the State Auditor and adopted by the DCA Board at the May 2020 meeting. This includes important updates for accounting and finance in Georgia’s city, county, and consolidated governments. The UCOA Fourth Edition is available for download at this link. 

DCA has prepared a webinar that summarizes the substantive changes in the UCOA Fourth Edition, as well as the modifications made to the RLGF submission document to reflect this update, accessible at this link .

This update also impacts the RLGF submission document for FY2020 and future years, which has been updated to reflect the account number and terminology changes. The updated submission form should be used for FY2020 and future years and is available here.
