Year-End Processes
The month of August will be closed Sept. 10, 2023:
An accrual period for FY 2023 will remain open for a period of time after that date. Any entries made during the accrual period will require approval by Accounting Services.
The FY 2023 roll to FY 2024 will take place Sept. 11, 2023:
All financial systems will be closed to transaction processing from Sunday evening through Tuesday morning. Cognos will be available for reports.
Open encumbrance review process:
Review all open encumbrances in Cognos: Team Content > HSC El Paso Finance > Encumbrances, Invoices and Checks >
Open Encumbrances by Fund and Organization
- Review for validity:
- Is order expected to be fulfilled before Aug. 31, 2023?
- Have you received the order, but it has not yet been invoiced (paid)?
- Request purchase order (PO)/encumbrance close from the PO and Encumbrance Change Request link if the PO needs to be closed.
Encumbrance adjustment process:
- Requests for increases or releases of FY 2023 and prior year encumbrances must be received by Purchasing by Aug. 31, 2023. Departments are encouraged to review encumbrances in June and July in order to avoid problems associated with attempting to spend available funds in late August.
- Encumbrances on E&G funds only roll one year. The encumbrance should be expended by the second year; otherwise, the encumbrances will be systematically closed July 28, 2023.
- E&G encumbrances that rolled from FY 2022 to FY 2023 will not roll to FY 2024. If there is a legitimate business need to reestablish or keep an encumbrance open, contact Purchasing by July 28, 2023.
- To keep the funds available beyond July 28, 2023 requires action involving multiple departments, so if there is a legitimate business need to reestablish or keep an FY 2023 encumbrance open, please contact Purchasing by July 28, 2023.
- The encumbrance roll process also rolls associated budgets to the next year to cover the encumbrance. The budget for E&G funds can only be used for the associated encumbrance.
- Releasing/closing prior FY encumbrances on E&G funds does not release funding to be spent in the current FY. When prior FY encumbrances are closed, the associated budgets will also be reversed.
Revenue should be recorded in the period that it is earned:
- Deposits should be recorded as of the bank deposit date.
- Any amount earned in the fiscal year being closed but not received must be accrued. Contract revenue should be accrued via the Contracting/Accounts Receivable System by Sept. 6, 2023. For non-contract revenue accruals, an IN form should be submitted to Accounting Services no later than Sept 5, 2023. The IN form is available online. Please note that entry of revenue accruals via the IN form occurs under rare circumstances and is NOT the preferred method for most revenue accruals. Please contact Accounting Services at accountingelp@ttuhsc.eduif you are uncertain regarding how a specific revenue accrual should be entered.
Any award/PO/contract requiring approval at the August Board of Regents (BOR) meeting will need to be completed and ready for submission in early July.
An expense should be accrued if an invoice has not yet been received, but the item has been received or the service provided.
E&G Funds (100000-109999) should be fully expended or encumbered by the end of FY 2023 to avoid recapture.
Accounts Payable will record payments as a prepaid asset if applicable.
Changes in the reported inventory balance will be reclassified from expenses to assets.
Unclaimed wires and deposits:
- Review the Holding Account Report on the Accounting Services website.
- Amounts not claimed within six months will be swept to a scholarship account per HSCEP OP 50.35.
