The Indian financial year generally runs from 1 April to 31 March. Year-end closing activities are performed after the financial year ends, although preliminary reviews and reconciliations can begin before 31 March.

It helps businesses identify accounting errors, verify financial balances, record necessary adjustments and prepare reliable financial information for management, tax reporting and applicable statutory requirements.

Activities commonly include ledger review, bank reconciliation, receivable and payable verification, inventory review, depreciation calculations, accruals, prepayments, provisions and financial statement preparation.

A year-end adjusting entry is an accounting entry recorded to recognise income or expenses in the appropriate accounting period or to update asset and liability balances. Examples include depreciation, accrued expenses and prepaid expenses.
