Hi Everyone

 

I am still a novice and am trying to start a new financial year in sage without closing the previous year - I am waiting for audit adjustments - is there any way to do this?

 

Thanks so much!

Hi

You can continue putting invoices, payments, journals etc onto sage.   When the year end has been done and adjustments input you will then update to the new financial year.

 Thanks Liz! Is it then possible to get a P&L report for the first month in the new year (ie: 13th month)?

Hi Vicki,

You will have to run the year-end to get P&L for new financial year.

This means when you receive the journal for year-end adjustments you will have to post them with the first date of the new financial year.

e.g. year-end date 31 Dec 2015

Journal after running year-end post on 01 Jan 2016.

This is perfectly acceptable as you could wait months before getting journal from accountant.

A comment about Marilyn's post - if you enter the audit adjustments with the date in the example below, the values will be included in the P&L for month 1 of the new year.

In general audit adjustments are entered with the date of the financial year end - using the example below it would be 31 December 2015.  The accountant usually supplies a list of adjustments as a balanced journal entry.  Thereafter stock and work in progress should be taken from the balance sheet to the P & L by journal dated 1 January 2016 if monthly stock and WIP values are used for the monthly P and L.  Accruals, prepayments, other creditors, deferred income etc etc are taken from the balance sheet at the date they become income or costs in the new financial year.

Sage is very date sensitive so consider the implications of adjustments before commiting them to Sage.

You can produce a transactional P & L and balance sheet by using the reports available in Financials - go to Financials - Reports - Profit and Loss and use the Transactional Profit and Loss report.  This one allows you to specify dates outwith the current financial year set in Sage.  This Period will be the dates your have specified whilst the Year to Date values will be 13 months.

FYI - my experience goes back to the days before computers, Sage as a DOS programme - terms that probably do not figure in your vocabulary!!! - lol

I hope this is of use to you and clearer than mud

Best wishs - Barbara
