Accounts Payable 2019-20 Yearend
Posted on: Mar 10, 2020
Just a reminder to everyone that our fiscal yearend is fast approaching.
To ensure that Concordia’s financial statements are accurate, we strive to have all transactions relating to the 2019-20 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 the Submission Deadlines noted below.
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 2020-21 budget year may be held for processing in the new year.
Accounts Payable system will be closed for the period of April 1-3, 2020 for 2019-20 yearend processing. We will not be able to print any cheques during this time.
In order to have your current year expenses posted to the 2019-20 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 2020-21 budget.
