Month End Closing

Monthly closing is an area where a large number of organisation find it difficult to achieve. The reason they find it difficult is because it involves reviewing the entire operations & transaction of the organisation for the month to ensure that nothing which materially affects the performance results of that particular month is missed out. Closing the books each month sets your numbers in stone. It’s impossible to accurately track performance if someone finds invoices or bills that weren’t recorded on a timely basis, or when someone changes transactions from previous periods. Including a monthly closing process in your regular accounting procedures ensures that your numbers are reliable, stable, and accurate. Proper adjustments and provisions, rectifying mistakes unearthed and giving effects to all applicable accounting standards take huge amount of time and effort.
