Year-end Financial Deadlines

The following deadlines have been established to allow adequate processing time to successfully close FY23 and prepare financial statements to meet the University鈥檚 reporting deadline with the State of Illinois Comptroller鈥檚 Office. By not doing so, exposes the University to audit findings related to improper year-end cutoff and inadequate control over good/services provided prior to approved contract/purchase order, among others. The cooperation of all departments is needed to keep to this schedule to ensure a successful close process. 

• June 16, 2023: Purchase requisitions and change orders for new FY23 requirements under $100,000 due to Procurement Services & Contract Management. Also,
  • Consider competition requirements for small purchases ($20,000 to $100,000, based on the aggregate amount). Submit competition or waiver document with requisition.
  • Requests that have associated contracts should be submitted as soon as Department/Divisions have them to allow sufficient processing time to meet this cutoff date.
  • Note: For FY23 requests greater than $100,000, please contact a Procurement representative (abridges3@niu.edu) for guidance.     
• June 19, 2023: Year-end cutoff for posting all journal activity for transactions occurring prior to June from all fund sources due to General Ledger
• June 30, 2023: All FY23 cash and/or checks received must be deposited at the Bursar鈥檚 Office in Swen 235, and must be made in accordance with Bursar鈥檚 Office procedures
• July 14, 2023: All FY23 approved invoices, check requests, and travel reimbursement requests due to Accounts Payable Services
• July 14, 2023:Year-end cutoff for posting all journal activity for transactions occurring in June from all fund sources due to General Ledger.

It is very important to note that transactions required to be processed in FY23 must be received by the requested due dates (do not hold FY23 documents even if the deadline has passed).

 

Should you have any questions about the year-end process or initiating FY24 requisitions, please contact the Controller鈥檚 Office at (ControllerOffice@niu.edu) or Procurement Services and Contract Management at abridges3@niu.edu for further assistance.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance to ensure a successful close out of FY23.
