Clack Corporation, a leader in water treatment and plastic processing, has gone live with Infor LN 10.4. The Crossroads RMC team partnered with Clack in this very important technology initiative for the company. With Clack’s dominance in the industry, they were challenged to provide a top-notch ERP system that would keep up with their ever-expanding business needs.

I'm reposting this checklist for things to consider in order to finish out the current year, and plan for next year…

• Are your accounting records up to date so you can make a projection of how the current year will turn out?
• Are all account reconciliations up to date to facilitate the closing of the books after year end?
• Are there accounts receivable that should be reserved for or written off prior to the end of the year?
• If your business carries inventory, do you need to plan a physical count as of the end of the year?
• Has depreciation on your fixed assets been recorded during the year? Have you considered depreciation on current year additions?
• Have all new asset purchases and bank loans been recorded on your books?
• Are there any liabilities, for example, pending legal actions or warranty issues, which will need to be recorded prior to year end? 
• Do you have a plan in place to properly “cut-off” revenue at year-end to properly match revenue and expense?
• Will there be bonuses, profit sharing contributions or discretionary retirement plan contributions paid prior to the end of the year? How will these payments affect cash flow?
• Will you be in compliance with your bank covenants at year end?
• Do you need to make arrangements to receive statements as of the end of the year for cash value of life insurance, loan balances, etc.?
