FY2026 Fiscal Closing Dates & Resources 

As we approach fiscal year-end (June 30), this webpage serves as the central resource to support departments in completing a timely and accurate close, including key deadlines, guidance, and supporting materials. The goal over the coming months is to ensure closing procedures are completed with the June Preliminary (Period 12) ledgers. In order to achieve this schedule, it is extremely important that published cutoff dates be strictly followed and that all required actions are completed on time.

As you may be aware, the University of California has recently onboarded a new external auditor, KPMG, after working with the same firm, PWC, for the past 10 years. With this transition, departments should expect potential changes in audit requests, including documentation or processes that may not have been required in prior years. To support a smooth audit and fiscal close, all transactions must be complete, accurate, and fully supported.

Departments are expected to review the information on this site carefully and complete all required actions by the published deadlines. Please refer to the Schedule & Deadlines section regularly for the most current information.

Questions should be directed to the responsible office in the Key Contacts section; however, please email fyclose@ucr.edu if there are circumstances or conditions that have not been addressed. Fiscal Close Office Hours will be held on Wednesday, May 13, from 10:30–11:30 a.m. Join the session: https://ucr.zoom.us/j/95091586921. 

Your cooperation in accomplishing the many tasks associated with achieving a successful closing of UCR’s fiscal year 2025/26 is truly appreciated.
Change Log
Fiscal Close Announcement

  • The goal over the next few months is to ensure closing procedures can be completed with the June Preliminary (Period 12) Ledgers.

    For FY26, departments are expected to prioritize the following actions:

    • Ensure all outstanding invoices can be paid promptly by:
      • Receiving goods and services in Oracle as soon as physically received and verified
      • Approving all pending invoices and resolving AP hold reports/outstanding items
    • Clear aged Travel & Entertainment (T&E), Ghost Card, and PCard transactions using the Card Aging Report
    • Complete all outstanding Payroll Certifications
    • Clear default fund 69993 and prepare required Salary Cost Transfer Tool (SCT) or Manual Payroll Cost Transfer (MPCT) entries prior to fiscal close
    • Review and use the updated MPCT and NCT templates for manual transfer requests
    • Review Position Funding to ensure expiring funding is updated with appropriate Chart of Accounts (COAs) to minimize additional transactions posting to default fund 69993
    • Ensure all accruals and deferrals are reviewed and submitted and that any material transactions not recorded by the 6/30 Period 12 cutoff are promptly communicated to the Accounting Office for consideration
    • Ensure all material financial transactions for FY2026 are processed by the June (Period 12) ledger
    • While some departmental processes may operate on a cash basis, UC/UCR financial reporting is on an accrual basis and must be reflected accordingly
    • Continue to promptly reconcile and certify monthly ledgers through the Ledger Reconciliation & Storage System (LRSS) to identify errors and initiate corrections as soon as possible
    • Treat April (Period 10) and May (Period 11) ledgers as preliminary for fiscal closing purposes and take appropriate action if transactions are not appearing as expected
    • Monitor Financial Transaction Detail Reports (FTDR), which will be produced at least weekly after the May ledgers close through mid-July and made available via Financials Web Reports
    • Review notifications sent to the MSOADM and LRSS Users list when FTDR reports are available
    • Note that the June “Final” ledgers (Period 13) are anticipated to be available in late August
  • Review this PowerPoint presentation on accruals and deferrals

     

    ⚠️ Special attention should be devoted to the review of transactions processed in July and August for potential accruals. Please contact the Accounting Office as soon as possible if a transaction should be evaluated for accrual consideration.


    Criteria for Material Transactions

    UCR has established the following criteria for determining whether a transaction is material for reporting purposes:

    • Expense Accrual: Goods and/or services are received in FY2026, but the expense is not reflected on the 6/30 campus ledgers.
    • Revenue Deferral: Revenue is received in FY2026 for services to be conducted in FY2027.
    • Expense Deferral: Payment is made for goods/services in FY2026 with expected benefit in FY2027.
    • Revenue Accrual: Services are performed in FY2026 but not billed.
    • High-Value Transactions: Any transaction of $100,000 or more received after the accrual/deferral deadline, but relating to the current fiscal year, must be reviewed through August for potential accrual or deferral to ensure proper financial reporting.

    Action Required
    • Accruals and deferrals submitted by the July 7 deadline will be included in the 6/30 Period 12 Ledger.
    • As soon as such a transaction is identified, complete the FY26 Accrual/Deferral Worksheets and submit to the Accounting Office.

  • 📅 Use the "Schedule" view in the upper right corner of the calendar to see events in a simple list format. Additionally, please avoid clicking the “More details” button, as no further information is provided.
