Fiscal Year 2026 is Open in Financials

See below for details from the email sent by Yessy Mendoza-Tate on July 1. Please note that the CALS Budget Office is undergoing a transition, including significant staff turnover, and as a result, processing times will be considerably slower than in previous years.

The Financial System for Fiscal Year 2026 is open and new transactions can be entered. The Beginning Budget and Actual Balances on the Wolfpack Reporting System Reports will have zero dollar amounts until the carry forward process and/or current year transactions are posted in Financials.

Below are specific dates by which the Central Offices will complete the carry forward processes:

1.  Budget Balances for Capital Improvement funds – 07/03/2025. 

2.  Budget Balances for Contracts & Grants (Ledger 5s) – 07/01/2025.   Complete
