The FY2021 Year-End Reporting Forms are published to this site and are now available for download. The  following notification and instructions explain some of the key items for this year.

Year End Forms now available

This memorandum highlights key dates that are an integral part of the year-end closing process. It is imperative that each organization adhere to these critical dates and the procedures detailed in the Forms Due by Entity Document. It is only with the cooperation of all State agencies and institutions that we can effectively close the State’s books for the 2021 fiscal year in order to prepare required financial reports for the Governor. Failure to comply may result in noncompliance with Code requirements, which in turn may adversely affect the State’s bond rating.

The 2021 Year-End Reporting Forms have been posted to our website at:

https://sao.georgia.gov/statewide-reporting/year-end-forms

Key items to note this year include:

  • All form that were submitted through WDesk last year will follow the same process
  • This year we are working on adding the Appropriations Receivable Reconciliation to WDesk. If we encounter any issues, we will post the form to our website as we have in the past. Additional communication will be sent out once a final decision is made.
  • The Lease Agreement Data form will not be available until closer to the end of June.

The “Forms Due by Entity” file should be used to determine which forms are due for your reporting entity.  If you have any questions or concerns about the due dates or the applicability of any of the forms for your organization, please send an email to [email protected]
