End of Fiscal Year Closing Deadlines
Hi Everyone,
Now that we are into May, we are fast approaching OSU’s June 30th Fiscal Year End! As such, beginning this month, we will be starting to have deadlines related to closing out the fiscal year. Please see the email below from Business Affairs for the first set of these deadlines (including one, for very large requisitions, which is as early as the end of this week). As more of these reminders come out from Business Affairs we will continue to forward them, highlighting those that we feel are most important to departments at this stage.
**Please share the information and deadlines with others in your department that may need to know this information.**
As we start to move into the closing process, now would also be a really good time to ask everyone to do a thorough review of your accounts and submit to ASBC any needed changes ASAP so we can get corrections made before the relevant deadlines.
Please let us know if you have questions.
Thanks!
