Colombian Unique Institutional Code (CO-CUIN)
Description
The Código Único Institucional (CUIN) is a 15-digit numeric code assigned to Colombian public sector entities by the Contaduría General de la Nación (CGN — National Accounting Authority). It was adopted by Resolution No. 767 of 2013 and has applied to all entities comprising the Colombian public sector from 1 January 2014.
The CUIN classifies entities across three top-level sectors: Public non-financial corporations; Public financial corporations; General government
The CUIN is an 8-part mnemonic code encoding sector, subsector, entity type, supra-region, and territorial level. It is used for public finance monitoring and reporting, and is mandatory for all public sector entities registered in the CHIP (Consolidador de Hacienda e Información Pública) system. It is also required by DIAN for annual exogenous information reporting by public entities.
The CUIN is distinct from the NIT (tax identification number) and applies exclusively to public sector entities.
