Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) Close - Dates & Actions
The University’s Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) ends Friday, June 30, 2024. The processes outlined below include important dates and actions that require Department’s attention to ensure a successful year-end.
In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Standards, the University uses accrual-basis accounting. This means it is important to:
Record revenues when earned;
Record expenses when goods and/or services are received.
Therefore, at Fiscal Year-End we need your help to identify the correct fiscal year for your Journal Vouchers (JV), Request for Payments (RFP), PCard transactions, and Deposit Transmittals. Finance will apply the correct accounting to ensure each transaction is recorded in the correct fiscal year.
