Accounting, a meticulous recording of financial transactions, is a crucial process required for the success of businesses both big and small. While large businesses will usually employ a sizable accounting department with many employees (as well as doing business with a separate auditing firm), smaller businesses may employ only a bookkeeper. In a single-person business, the business owner may need to handle the accounting themselves, without the help of a bookkeeper. Whether you're trying to manage your own finances or are interested in finding work as a bookkeeper for another person's business, learning the basics of accounting can help get you started.

HUD has updated the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS) to begin phasing out the first-in-first-out (FIFO) accounting methodology. These changes ensure that IDIS both commits and disburses funds on a grant-specific basis, instead of using the FIFO (oldest money disbursed first) method that has been used for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Programs to date. Grant funds were already committed and disbursed in IDIS on a grant-specific basis for the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program. For the other formula programs, grant-specific accounting began with FY 2015 formula allocations. With these changes, grantees tied activity funding/commitment and draws to a specific grant in IDIS. Funds from pre-2015 grants continue to be committed and disbursed using the FIFO method.
