- Recommended Chart of Accounts
-
The chart of accounts provides structure to data in the accounting system.
By standardizing the "Data Organization" phase of information management,
we can develop uniform benchmarks. The Dairy Alliance Standardized Chart of
Accounts has been developed and refined with input from professionals
serving the dairy industry throughout Pennsylvania and the Northeast.
It can be implemented into any accounting system. For a paper copy of the
standardized chart of accounts download this PDF file. Fot more information
on chart of account files for various software programs contact

- Standardization of Data
-
An important, but often overlooked, step in information management is data
organization, which provides structure to the raw data so it can be processed,
reported and analyzed. Standardization in data organization is critical to
developing uniform and useful benchmarks.

Dairy Alliance benefits the individual farm in dealing issues that relate to
human resource management, business management, information technology, and
nutrient management.
