Iowa Department of Education

The Department of Education prepares three types of manuals to assist the community colleges in reporting data. These manuals are the Reporting Manual, the Accounting Manual, and the Data Dictionary. The Reporting Manual is revised each year and includes information on how to report student enrollments, student awards, human resource data, and financial reports. The Accounting Manual is revised on an as needed basis and includes information on the proper coding of the accounting functions on the community college information system. Any changes to the manuals are communicated to the community colleges by the Department of Education. The Data Dictionary defines all of the terms and definitions used in both the Reporting and Accounting Manuals.
