Note:   According to the Office of the Comptroller of the Commonwealth’s Expenditure Classification Handbook, object classes and codes are used to “indicate the types of goods and services for which Commonwealth funds are expended.” These codes make it possible to determine how much money was spent on lawn and grounds equipment (code N61), hazardous waste removal (code N72), nutritional assistance (code RR1), office supplies (code E01), and other spending categories. In this case, the 6 codes listed above relate to employee settlement agreements, with the use of each code requiring the review and approval of the Comptroller’s Legal Unit to ensure proper accounting in the Commonwealth’s accounting system.
