Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) Close - Dates & Actions

The University’s Fiscal Year 2024 (FY23) 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.

Identifying the Correct Fiscal Year ADD MINIMUM $ VALUE FOR THIS?

Please refer to the attachment for further examples.

Prepaid Revenue – Revenue received June 30 2024 or before for activities, goods, and services delivered July 1 2024 or later. Identify with FY25 on Transmittal of Funds.

Income Accrual – Income received July 1 2024 or later for activities, goods, and services delivered June 30 2024 or before. Identify with FY24 on Transmittal of Funds if received by July 13 2024.
