<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning,<span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Business Affairs Financial Services Department would like to remind University of Oregon (UO) personnel of important accrual accounting procedures regarding prepaid expense, payables, accounts receivable, unearned revenue, and undistributed
revenue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), accrual accounting requires expense and revenue to be recorded in the fiscal year and period in which goods or services are received or provided. The timing of the payment and
the availability of budget or cash is irrelevant to which period transactions are recorded in.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">General ledger account codes are used to perform accrual accounting entries. Department personnel should maintain detailed lists of transactions (subsidiary ledgers) for each of the general ledger account codes they use, which reconcile
to Banner FIS. It is important that balances in general ledger account codes are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate throughout the year and prior to fiscal year-end. To review these account codes, use Banner forms FGITBAL/FGIGLAC or FWIGLDD.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Prepaid Expense<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Invoices and other purchases, such as Concur or Duck Depot transactions, for $5,000 or more for goods or services that will be received (partially or entirely) in a future fiscal year should be allocated to the appropriate prepaid expense
account code. To remove the prepaid and recognize the expense, post a reversing journal voucher (JV) with a transaction date in the fiscal year and period that the goods or services are to be provided. This JV may be processed ahead of time if the future period
is open. Purchases of less than $5,000 are not amortized over future fiscal years; they are expensed in the current fiscal year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the accuracy of UO’s tax reporting, tax reportable expenses must first be coded to an expense account code when processing an invoice. Non-tax reportable expenses may be coded directly to a prepaid expense account code on an invoice.
For a list of 1099 tax reportable account codes, please see the account code search on the following website:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Assuming an invoice has already been posted to expense ($5,000 or greater), input a JV to reverse the expense and record prepaid expense in the current fiscal year for any amount being
