5.6 Undertake end-of-year process (Treasury)
As part of the end-of-year process, agencies validate and submit June quarter data to Treasury, which then analyses the data for acceptance. The June quarter data includes any equity movement, prior-year adjustments, inter-Governmental asset sales explanatory schedules, and elimination of mismatched reports based on June actuals.
This process can involve discussions between agency staff and Treasury Analysts and during, August, audit-ready data has to be submitted to Treasury. The Tridata system is then closed to changes during September and a copy of the agency's audit-certified general purpose financial statements is sent to the agency.
Governance
The Under Treasurer is responsible for ensuring that agencies receive a copy of the audit-certified general purpose financial statement.
Timing
This process occurs from July through to September.
