Managers and supervisors should have received information from the Controller's Office regarding the cut-off dates for financial transactions for the current fiscal year, which ends on June 30. View the deadlines for receipt of information and other year-end announcements online at www.kent.edu/controller under Fiscal Year End Cut-off Dates tab. The Controller's Office appreciates timely submissions of documents to ensure that a timely year-end cut-off has occurred.
The FY2024 year is scheduled to close the evening of July 12, 2024, and the final June Flashline reports should be available to departments the morning of July 15, 2024.
Expense Reimbursements
Travel or miscellaneous expenses incurred on or before June 30 are considered Fiscal Year 2024 activity. To ensure these expenses are recorded in the appropriate fiscal year, expense reimbursements must be approved by the final approver on or before June 25, 2024. Any expense reimbursements in draft status or submitted but not approved by this date will not be processed as fiscal year 2024 activity.
Travel or miscellaneous expenses that span both fiscal years or are incurred after June 30 should be considered new fiscal year activity. Therefore, these expense reimbursements should be processed and approved on or after July 1, 2024.
Purchasing Cards
All P-Card reconciliations for the June cycle must be completed by July 3, 2024. All transactions that are not fully reconciled (allocated, reviewed, and approved) by 5:00 pm on this date will be charged to your departmental index under office supplies (72017). In addition, the P-Card will be suspended for non-compliance and the cardholder and/or approver will be required to repeat purchasing card cardholder or approver training before the card can be reinstated.
Compensated Absences
All compensated absences should be both reported and approved no later than July 1, 2024, for any remaining FY2024 activity.
KSU Foundation
The KSU Foundation reminds department heads and fund administrators that June 21, 2024, is the deadline to submit any funding requests for the current fiscal year. This will ensure that the transfer of Foundation funds to a university index will be recorded in Fiscal Year 2024. All requests must be submitted using the Foundation Funding Request form and must have the appropriate signatures and documentation. For more information, contact Jessica Vargo at 330-672-0432.
