1 A thin ledger contains the segments (data elements) company/account/center, such as project and product. The number of segments is geared toward financial reporting,

such as creating an income statement, balance sheet, trial balance, etc. A thick ledger contains more segments than what you need for accounting. The additional

segments add more to reporting and analyses but make the general ledger more complex. Companies often use a thick general ledger as a general-purpose analytics tool.

Says Deloitte, "Making a COA overly complex isn’t going to ensure an unequivocal view of the business. It will open it up to interpretation and guesswork.” A third option is

a structured federated ledger ("such as the Oracle Accounting Hub and Oracle Subledger Accounting), which allows for hierarchies of companies in general ledger, each

with their own segments and some shared federated segments.
