B) Year-End Accounting Procedures
The following information provides additional details regarding year-end accounting procedures:
- Please forward any budget changes for the 2021/22 fiscal year by April 20th, 2022 at 4:30pm for processing before budget close on April 30, 2022.
- It is the University’s policy that an HVPO should be issued prior to the delivery of goods or services of $5,000 or over. As a result, any invoices of $5,000 or over must be paid against HVPOs. In cases where there is no HVPO, invoices will be returned and an After-Fact HVPO must be issued before the invoice can be processed.
- Purchase requisitions for HVPO must include required documents such as multiple quotes or Non-Competitive Procurement Justification where applicable. Requisitions without the required documents will be returned. Purchase requisitions for After-Fact HVPO issued for the purpose of getting invoices paid in current 2021/22 fiscal year should also include a copy of the invoice.
- Purchase orders issued for the new 2022/23 fiscal year will not generate commitments in FRS until the Year-End accounting process is over.
- For Invoice payment, if the commitment is 2022/2023 fiscal however the invoice should be paid in fiscal 2021/2022, please contact Purchasing Services to have the HVPO updated. If the HVPO is for future period 2022/23 fiscal, which is the same as the commitment on the HVPO, please hold the invoice until after Year-end processing is complete.
- Cheque requisitions relating to the 2022/23 fiscal year must be noted as such in the “Purpose of Payment” section of the document.
- Revenue received up to and including April 30, 2022 must be submitted to Treasury Operations by 10:00 am on May 2, 2022.
