Important Change
TIP calls/meetings: Starting this week, we will not hold our 4 p.m. TIP calls on Tuesday or Thursday. We will still have the calls on Monday and Wednesday, and the TIP face-to-face meetings on Friday. This Friday’s meeting will be held at at Toy Lounge (Dey Hall).
Top Issues
- Month-End Close: As a follow up to questions asked last week, a separate communication on month-end processing for October 2014 is being sent today. Note: Transactions should be processed through at least Departmental Workflow by COB Wednesday, Oct. 29, in order to ensure the journal will be posted in October. Central Office (OSR, Accounting Services and Budget office) will ensure journals are posted if received by that date.
- ARP: Instructions expected to be communicated by the end of this week.
