The end of financial year has arrived!
It’s a busy time for all businesses - make it easier on yourself with these helpful tips:
- Your final pay of the year is determined by the payment date. Pays fall into the current year if payment is on or before 31 March and fall into the next if it’s on 1 April or afterwards.
- If you manage inventory, do a stock stake as of 31 March.
- Reconcile your company file data and make sure everything balances. Use the Company Data Auditor in AccountRight to automate this for you.
Checklist:
- Complete your income tax return for the financial year, and make sure everything is in order.
- Ensure your final pay of the year is completed correctly.
- Reconcile your inventory and if on AccountRight, use the count inventory feature in to record what you actually have on hand.
- Review Accounts List, Trial Balance, Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss reports.
