Control 16.17: Authorisation to reopen previous years’ accounting periods
Permission to reopen a closed year account during the year is restricted to a limited number of authorised and independent persons.
At each end of period, the Financial Manager reviews a log of each time a period has been reopened in order to ensure that they all were formally authorised.
At least once a year, the Financial Manager reviews and approves the list of users that have permission to reopen a period that has been closed in the accounting system.
