Besides the above information, additional
guidance will be provided as needed to explain
all the transactions required for performing the
accounting procedures
for this particular
application.
It should be noted that this application will
deal with a chapel fund which has two accounts,
Roman Catholic and Protestant. These two
account classifications were chosen because they
are the most commonly used throughout the
Navy, both ashore and at sea. Larger commands
may have other faith groups (a Jewish commu-
nity, for example) which may also be authorized
by the commanding officer to be a part of the
CRP chapel fund. The accounting procedures
do not change just because there may be
numerous accounts. It is important to remember
that there is only one chapel fund per com-
mand; but, there may be many accounts in-
cluded under this one fund.
The remainder of this chapter will be covered
on a day-to-day basis beginning with August 1,
1980 (fiscal year 1980). It is designed to provide
a real life feel for the daily routine in chapel
fund accounting.
NOTE: The addresses which will be used in
this practice application are fictitious. This
module is NOT designed to be used as a source
document for determining correct addresses. Be
sure to consult the proper manuals for accurate
addresses.
