28. Year-End Processes

29. http://www.michigan.gov/emhsd29 Accounts Payable Transaction that takes place at the end of a fiscal year. State of Michigan’s fiscal year is October 1 through September 30. Ensures that money spent in one fiscal year for goods and/or services is reimbursed with funds for that same fiscal year. (Required in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).)

30. http://www.michigan.gov/emhsd30 If goods/services were received on or before September 30, but the invoice was not received, an accounts payable must be established. If the invoice for the goods/services was received but a reimbursement request cannot be completed and submitted before the requested deadline, an accounts payable must be established. If goods/services were received and paid for on or before September 30, this is not an accounts payable. Submit reimbursement request by deadline. Accounts Payable (cont.)

31. http://www.michigan.gov/emhsd31 Payable or Not? Previously ordered equipment arrives on September 30, but no invoice has been received yet. The contractor performed services during the month of September, but won’t send a bill until the middle of October. Invoices were paid on September 30, but a reimbursement request cannot be completed, approved, and submitted before the year-end deadline. Supplies were ordered, received, and paid for prior to September 30.

32. http://www.michigan.gov/emhsd32 Establishing Accounts Payable Complete Payables Estimate form sent by EMHSD Financial ○ Complete separate Payable Estimate forms for each grant ○ Attach documentation that supports the estimated payable, such as invoice copy, shipping receiver, or billing estimate ○ Fax or mail completed package to EMHSD Financial Section on or before deadline

33. http://www.michigan.gov/emhsd33 If Payables Are Not Established By not establishing a payable, subgrantees are spending old year money that another jurisdiction has held for their costs. In order to make payments greater than $10,000 for old fiscal years without a payable, EMHSD is required to obtain special permission from the State Budget Office. This delays processing. Continued requests of the State Budget Office creates an audit flag indicating EMHSD is not following Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

34. http://www.michigan.gov/emhsd34 Reimbursement Requests for a payable must be completed separately. Do not complete one reimbursement packet for both payable and new year expenditures on the same form, even if they are the same grant. ○ Payable – expenses incurred through September 30 that have been established at EMHSD ○ Current year – expenses incurred beginning October 1 Submit reimbursement requests for payables as soon as possible after the fiscal year end closes.
