To close out the control accounts, this journal will need to be posted. The control accounts are listed followed by the fund balance accounts. Remember when you have more than one fund included in a journal worksheet that each fund must balance within the journal worksheet. To finish closing out the control accounts, this worksheet must be posted. Clients who do not want to close revenue and expenditure control accounts may skip this step and move to Transfer General Ledger Account Balances.
