* Due to the high volume of transactions received during fiscal close, we ask that all expenses are submitted as soon as possible. Invoices and reimbursements not received by the specified due date may not be processed for Fiscal Year 2019-20.
** Transactions processed by Travel Accounting before 5 p.m., July 6th will be posted to the general ledger in Fiscal Year 2019-20. Therefore, you will need to review your ledgers to be sure that all expenses relating to 2019-20 have been properly recorded. If any invoices are not recorded on the ledger and you would like to accrue charges, you may submit an accrual journal to General Accounting by the appropriate deadline in order for that expense to show up on the preliminary general ledger.
