Accounts Payable 2016-17 Yearend
Posted on: Mar 14, 2017
Just a reminder to everyone that our March 31, 2017 fiscal yearend is fast approaching.
To ensure that Concordia’s financial statements are accurate, we strive to have all transactions relating to the 2016-17 fiscal year reported in the correct year. In order for an expense to be posted to the current fiscal year the services must be rendered, goods received or travel completed by March 31, 2017.
For an accurate and quick cut-off please be aware of the following:
- At yearend, the first priority of the Accounts Payable Department is to pay invoices dated prior to March 31st. Invoices to be charged against the 2017-18 budget may be held for processing in the new year.
- Accounts Payable system will be closed for the period of April 3 -5, 2017 for yearend processing. We will not be able to print any cheques during this time.
- All services, purchases and travel after March 31, 2017 are 2017-18 expenses and will be processed in the new year.
- In order to have your current year expenses posted to the 2016-17 fiscal year it is extremely important that purchasing is finalized well before yearend so that paperwork can be received by Accounts Payable, S208, by the deadlines noted below. Any late submissions could result in the expense being paid from your 2017-18 budget.
