Year-end closing is the process in which companies inspect and update their accounting records (“the books”) at the end of the fiscal year. This is the critical final step in the company’s annual financial reporting process. The year-end closing process identifies any balances or deficits on the company’s books, which are then carried over into the new fiscal year. This lets you create more realistic budgets based on what was actually spent in the prior year. The ultimate goal is to maintain good fiscal hygiene and keep a close eye on the company’s financial health.
