SACS SOFTWARE
The Standardized Account Code Structure (SACS2022ALL) financial reporting software for completing the 2021-22 unaudited actual financial reports is now available on the California Department of Education (CDE) Financial Reporting Software web page at www.cde.ca.gov/fg/sf/fr/. Soon county offices, districts, JPAs, and charter schools will receive emails providing more detailed information about the SACS2022ALL software release, charter school financial reporting, and the unaudited actual data submissions.
The financial reporting calendars and SACS2022ALL Software User Guide are included in the SACS2022ALL software build. Upon installing the software with the default settings, the calendars and user guide will be copied to the subdirectory C:\SACS2022ALL\Calendars and Manuals. To download the software, please visit the CDE Financial Reporting Software web page at www.cde.ca.gov/fg/sf/fr/ and follow the posted instructions.
There were a number of changes to the software this year, including revisions to incorporate changes to financial reporting for leases as required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 87, effective 2021-22. For a description of the associated software changes, refer to the “What’s New” section of the software user guide.
Validation Tables: The SACS2022ALL software contains the most recent validation tables, dated June 16, 2022, which are the same as those posted to the CDE SACS Valid Codes and Combinations web page at www.cde.ca.gov/fg/ac/ac/validcodes.asp.
