As we approach FISCAL YEAR END JUNE 30, 2018, please be reminded of the following :

• In order to allow the Financial Services office to prepare for Lawrence University’s annual audit, we ask that you approve invoices for the fiscal year ending 06/30/18 and have them to the Financial Services office by Friday, July 13^th. Any invoice received in our office after July 13^th will be entered into the 2018-19 fiscal year regardless of the date on the invoice or the date of the delivery of the product or service. If you are expecting an invoice that needs to be posted to the 2017-18 fiscal year, but have not received it by the deadline, please contact Financial Services to work out a solution.

• Invoices will be entered in the fiscal period for which the delivery of the product or service relates. For example, if an invoices is dated June 25^th, 2018 but is for a services that will be provided after July 1^st, the invoice will go to the next fiscal year. Conversely, if the invoice has a date of July 5^th, 2018 but was for services provided prior to June 30^th, that invoice will be posted back to the 2017-18 fiscal year.  Purchases or services that are to be reflected as June 30, 2018 expenses need to be purchased and received by June 30, 2018.
  • Purchases WILL be considered made/paid by June 30, 2018 if they are purchased on an LU purchasing credit card, regardless of whether the item/service has been received by June 30

• Down payments will not be considered an expense as of June 30, 2018.
  • LU has to be in receipt of the item purchased by June 30, 2018 to be considered a valid expense to hit the books as of June 30, 2018.

• It is NOT necessary that the invoice be in hand by June 30, 2018; however, Financial Services needs to be made aware that the expense is to be dated for fiscal year June 30, 2018 if it will not be clear on the invoice when the invoice is received after fiscal year end.

• If you have a specific invoice for which you would like to make an exception, please contact Brandie Jewett X6542 or Amy Price X7164 with any questions.
