FISCAL YEAR-END INSTRUCTIONS 2001-5

1. Inter-agency claims that are settled by Transfer Invoice (CO-608) should be given special attention to assure the recording of all expenditure items in the proper fiscal year. It is imperative that debtor and creditor agencies cooperate to ensure that the deadline for transfer list submission is met so that expenditures and revenues may be recorded in the desired fiscal year. Your attention is invited to the State Accounting Manual - Transfers Section.

 

Agencies must ensure that commitments are established against the old year appropriations to cover all transfer invoices to be processed as old year.

 

Transfer lists received after the deadline, or any transfer expenditure which cannot be processed against the old year because of a lack of commitment, will be charged in July as a new year (2002) revenue/expenditure.

 

Transfer lists will be accepted for processing as "Old Year" through and including Friday, June 15.

 

Transfer lists should be submitted to Accounting Services, 55 Elm Street, Room 601, 6th floor, Hartford.
