Closing of the Books
Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Introduction
Thank you for all your assistance in following the year-end closing instructions. The accuracy and timeliness of year-end closing are critical to the preparation and audit of the annual financial statements. The closing instructions are divided into two groups: 1) Banner FIS Year-end Closing Instructions, and 2) Banner Fixed Assets Year-end Closing Instructions.
Institutions are encouraged to submit schedules before their due dates when practicable.
Except where otherwise specified, all schedules and information requested in the Closing Instructions are to be submitted to Mary Gaffney. The preferred delivery method is via e-mail attachment to mary_gaffney@ous.edu.
