Agency Profile Journal Entry Open or Close Month (GL) Month-End Process Training 6: Accounting Training 7: Management

The steps required to close the final month of the fiscal year are the same steps required for month-end processing. After closing the final month in a fiscal year, typically year-end journal adjustments are created.

Agency Systems will automatically zero out your income and expense figures into retained earnings on the first month of your new fiscal year. This is automatic, and displayed on the balance sheet and income & expense reports without any adjustment or year-end transactions required by the user.

The fiscal year is configured within the Agency Profile.

1. Select Setup -> Agency
2. Select or enter the Agency Code. (Typically: 01)
