Departments are gaining additional time to submit year-end financial reports to the State Controller’s Office for all their funds. The revised deadlines are prescribed in Budget Letter 21-04 from the state Department of Finance (Finance).

Finance will continue to provide assistance and year-end training for departments using FI$Cal, the letter states. Finance will conduct FI$Cal accounting overview training classes in April and year-end training in April and June. Information on those classes can be found here. Departments should work with their Finance accounting analyst/manager and FI$Cal relations coordinator to make arrangements for additional support to meet the year-end deadlines.

Departments may contact Finance, Fiscal Systems and Consulting Unit (FSCU) for assistance with accounting processes and policies, including monthly reconciliations and year-end procedures at (916) 324-0385 or via e-mail at: FSCUHotline@dof.ca.gov.
