Accruals and Deferrals
Performing accruals and deferrals is an essential closing task that ensures that financial transactions are recorded in the same year as the delivery of the goods and services. Use the chart below as a reference when creating your journal vouchers for accruals and deferrals.

Record Retention: Should it stay or should it go?
After year-end transactions are complete, many administrators turn their attention to properly storing their paper files to make room for the new year’s receipts. Since 2018, VPF has advised DLCs that electronic financial records stored on VPF central platforms do not require additional paper back-up. If you upload and attach an electronic receipt to a transaction in Concur, B2P, eRFP, JV, or your Procurement Card Inbox, you do not need to keep the paper version in your office. Use this handy guide to determine what to keep and what can be discarded.
Related to multi-year sponsored award | Retain the record for three years after the close of the award |
---|---|
Paper | File locally and retain paper records for Current FY + 4 FYs |
Electronic | Save to a shared department drive and retain records for Current FY + 4 FYs |
Uploaded to VPF Financial System | Once complete and legible records are uploaded to Concur, B2P, eRFP, Procurement Card Inbox, or journal vouchers they are maintained by VPF. Paper copies can be discarded. |
General Tips
- Be aware of important deadlines for Accounts Payable, eRFPs, ProCard and travel expense reports, payroll, WBS elements, journal vouchers, budget transfers, and all other critical elements in the fiscal year-end close process. See the FY 2022 Year-End Closing Schedule for specific details.
- Review the procedures for making accruals and deferrals of revenues and expenses (see chart above).
- When researching WBS elements, gather backup materials early in the process and use with journal entries when required.
- Close inactive internal orders by bringing the balance to zero and emailing vpf-cost-objects@mit.edu to request that the term code in SAP be set to “3” (Terminated. Charges not allowed).
- Review restricted gift and endowment fund cost objects to make sure you know if there are any donor-specified restrictions on the fund, and to ensure expenses made against the fund this year are not restricted.
- Take the self-paced Fiscal Year-End online training to learn more.
