FY25 Financial Services Year End Deadlines

Posted on by

Loyola Community,

Loyola’s Fiscal Year-end of June 30, 2025, is rapidly approaching! Please review the important year-end deadlines below.

Why is the Fiscal Year-end so important?

The University is required to prepare financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The financial statements provide an overview of the financial position of LUC as of June 30th; therefore, it is critical that all revenues and expenses that relate to the fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) are captured accurately.

Year-End Procedure and Deadline Presentations

The Financial Services Division Fiscal year end presentations can be found at the following link: https://www.luc.edu/finance/fiscalyear-endinformation/
