Sectorial adaptations of the General Chart of Accounts

In this section we present the different sectorial adaptations to the General Chart of Accounts.

Is it mandatory to apply the sectorial adaptations of the PGC?

When keeping our accounts, we must take into account whether there is any specific sectoral adaptation that applies to us and put it into practice.

Many operations and particular circumstances of the activity carried out will not be included in the PGC and it will be the sectoral adaptation itself that will tell us how to keep the relevant accounting records.

Therefore, it will be compulsory to keep the accounts in accordance with the sectoral adaptation that applies to your company.
