• Chart of accounts definition - the chart of accounts is the sites entire account structure which includes every fund, every organization, object, project, segment, account, etc. 
• The Chart of accounts is set up during Go Live with Implementation assistance so needing to restructure the entire Chart of accounts typically should not be needed. 
• Typically just new Funds, Organization codes or accounts needs to be created however if it is verified that a client truly needs an entire chart of account restructuring please speak with a GL Analyst regarding next steps.
