Year end Procedures 8.03

1
My year end procedures are the same as my month end procedures. I have a checklist of month end tasks which follows. The list may or may not be useful to others since some of the tasks are unique to this company. As soon as all my month end entries are done, I close the month. I sometimes close it earlier to prevent others from making entries that affect the numbers I am reviewing. You can always reopen a prior period to make adjustments.

Can anyone share year end procedures? Accouting is asking to see what other users in a 12 month year do when closing the year.
