Proprietary Balances in Canceled Accounts

Please read "C" Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) Guidance Effective Fiscal Year 2017

The GTAS Team has withdrawn the proposal that assets must remain in the original account until canceled and then transferred to the C TAS. We are keeping the C TAS but changing the requirements for using it.

C TAS will no longer be automatically created within GTAS. Agencies will need to request the creation of a C TAS if one does not exist on the GTAS Super Master Account File (SMAF).

The creation of a new C TAS can be done when an ATB window is open only. If an agency does not utilize a C TAS, a request can be made to delete the record from the SMAF with the following rules:

  • ATB Window is closed; AND
  • For the current FY, the CTAS does not have:
    • Any bulk file reported activity OR
    • Has bulk file reported activity but all dollar amounts are zero; AND
  • No other TAS in the Fund Family exist (AID/Main)

The newly created C TAS ("C" domain value for availability type) will have three components:

  • the three digit agency identifier
  • availability type "C" and
  • a four digit main account.

Agencies may choose one or more "C" TAS on the SMAF to report assets.

If you are using a default fund symbol of your own creation, you must use the new "C" account in its place.

However, if you are using a current year fund symbol or an "X" fund or some other variation of a real account, you may continue to use those. You may also decide on your own when to move these assets from the original purchasing fund.
