Processing a Journal Entry

Directive Statement

This directive establishes the proper methods of entering and modifying a journal entry.  Please note that the last day to submit journals at the end of the month is three full business days before the last business day of the month to allow time for review and processing time by the core offices before the month ends.

Reason for Directive

Journal entries are entered for internal business transactions and must be accurate and timely to ensure proper accounting.  These transactions can be for cash transfers, expense to expense (E2Es), expense to revenue (E2Rs), deposit corrections (DPCs), cash transfers (ONL) or other internal transactions (ONL).

Who must comply?

All UF Departments.
