CARS External Modules and Roles

CARS supports the Fiscal Service strategic goal to produce accurate, accessible, and timely 

governmentwide financial information and reports while reducing reconciliation burdens on 

FPAs.

Account Statement (ACCTSTMT): 

Account Statement provides federal agencies with a central location for retrieving information 

to assist with their financial reconciliation processes. Account Statement is designed for 

agencies that perform their Fund Balance with Treasury (FBWT) reconciliation based on TAS. 

This module has screens for ALC summary, ALC activity, and ALC transactions.

Role: 

o Agency Reviewer (AR) – can view all CARS posted transactions that relate to the 

user’s AGroup 

Appropriation Warrants- (APROP):

create warrant transactions for each Federal Program Agency (FPA) based on a US Code, Statue, 

or Public Law. FPAs are able to view approved warrants based on their profiles. 

Role:

executed and stored in the WebFOCUS Report Library for later retrieval, transparent access to 

the BI Dashboard, InfoAssist features of the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting (MR) client, and

Classification Transaction and Accountability (CTA):

This component of the Agency Transaction Module generates the FS 224 Statement of 

Transactions used to report monthly accounting activity by FPAs who rely upon Treasury to 

disburse funds. FS 224 monthly reports serve as the basis for Treasury’s reporting of federal 

revenues and expenditures for these FPAs. The FS 224 allows monthly reconciliation of 

disbursements and collections for each Agency Location Code (ALC). This in turn, enables the 

Funds Balance with Treasury (FBWT) to be reconciled to the General Ledger by Treasury 

Account Symbol (TAS). The FS 224 consists of three parts: Section 1 is Fund and Receipt 

Accounts. This is where appropriated funds are classified and reclassified into FPA accounts. 

Section 2 is for reporting Payments, and Section 3 is for reporting Collections.

Agency Balance and the Source System Balance. The Agency Balance is defined as data 

reported by agency users. The Source System Balance is defined as data provided by source 

system. Access to SOD will provide two separate reports for tickets (Collections Information

IntraALC transfers are indirectly related to source transactions. These transactions should 

not be corrections to source system transactions.

ALC, either in the same agency or a different agency, that are not associated with a payment 

or collection. InterALC transfers are indirectly related to source transactions. These

General Account (TGA), but is needed for Treasury reporting, i.e. Monthly Treasury 

Statement (MTS) reporting. For example, Federal Debt’s accruals and amortization 

transactions are reported on the MTS in the current accounting period, but the related cash 

payment takes place in a future accounting period.

subsidy modification, or has an upward re-estimate, the program account pays a subsidy to
