Trying to find the right program to open a computer file can sometimes be frustrating, especially if the file extension is unusual, uncommon or unknown to you. ACC files, which aren't frequently used, contain financial and bank account information.

    Full Extension Name

  1. Unlike some other file extensions, ACC is not an acronym. It's a shortened version of the word "account," as in bank or credit accounts.
  2. Associated Program

  3. The ACC file format is a proprietary format used by FKJ Software, with the program Graphic Accounts. Graphic Accounts is financial software designed to help create a graphical representation of your finances, which can then be used to create a budget.
  4. File Format

  5. ACC files are data files. They contain information about your financial accounts, interest and inflation rates, all stored in text form.
  6. Corresponding File Formats

  7. Graphic Accounts stores information in two formats: ACC files and BGT files. Typically each ACC file has a corresponding BGT file that contains a budget based on the financial information stored in the ACC file. The two files can be opened alongside each other.
  8. Compatible Programs

  9. Unless the ACC file has been encrypted, it can typically be opened not only by its parent program, Graphic Accounts, but also by a simple text editor program like Notepad.
