W HAT IS “F ISCAL Y EAR E ND ”? Fiscal year end is essentially closing the financial ledgers at the end of a twelve-month accounting period so that Financial Statements may be prepared. Upon completion of the Financial Statements, an audit is conducted by external auditors who render an opinion on the Financial Statements. 3
W HY IS F ISCAL YEAR END SO IMPORTANT ? To ensure that the College’s activities from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 are accurately & completely represented by financial transactions which will ultimately become the College’s audited Financial Statements. Normally, the biggest challenge is determining whether a transaction should post to June (fiscal year being closed) or July (new fiscal year). This will be discussed later in the presentation. 4

Transaction Dates & Fiscal Periods 12
Transaction dates are the “driving force” that determine which month a transaction posts to. The date of final approval does not determine which month a transaction posts to. 13
T RANSACTION D ATES o During fiscal year end close, users will be able to enter a transaction to either fiscal year. o The system will always default the current date for the transaction date. o Users may change the transaction date to a June 2014 date or a July 2014 date to enter it against the correct fiscal year. o Transactions with a June 2014 date (or prior) will post to FY o Transactions with a July 2014 date (or later) will post to FY

General Ledger Roll 16
G ENERAL L EDGER ROLL – J ULY 1 o General ledger (G/L) ending balances for FY (assets and liabilities) are rolled once to FY beginning balances on the evening of July 1. (performed by Finance System Administrator) o The document numbers for the G/L roll start with “CGLR” and have a transaction date of July 1 (period 00). o Banner then allows concurrent year processing. This means any transaction posted to June after the G/L balance roll will update the June ending balance and the July beginning balance at the same time. This is why some transactions appear to “double-post”. They basically post to both fiscal years’ balances. o The rolled balances post to fiscal period “00” in the new year and the concurrent transactions also post to period “00” in the new year. 17

Fixed Assets & Inventory Items 19
F IXED A SSETS & I NVENTORY I TEMS o July 8 deadline: o All FFAADJF transactions (adjustments & disposals) for FY should be completed to allow time for approval. Be sure to use a June 30 or prior transaction date. o July 11 deadline: o All OTags and DTags from FY must be converted to permanent tags. o FFADEPR must be set up for all depreciable capital tags which had an invoice transaction date of June 30 or prior. o Depreciable capital tags with an invoice transaction date of June 30 or prior must have a depreciation start date on FFADEPR of June 30 or prior (within FY ). 20
F IXED A SSETS & I NVENTORY I TEMS - C ONTINUED o Write off adjustments for Capital items which are physically disposed of in FY (July or later) should not be entered on FFAADJF until after depreciation is run for FY The reason is because Banner does not distinguish what fiscal year the asset was disposed of for depreciation purposes. If the new year write off is posted prior to the depreciation run for the old year, Banner will not calculate depreciation for the old year on that asset. Fixed Asset Custodians will be notified when depreciation has been run. We anticipate running depreciation for the old year the last week of August. 21
