Overview of Task Based Billing Codes

Task based billing codes were established by the American Bar Association and are used to organize time entries by category to meet the American Bar Association billing standards. Abacus Accounting is preloaded with the ABA task based billing codes. You do not need to modify or delete these codes unless the ABA changes its code set.

For more information about task based billing, contact the American Bar Association.
