As year-end approaches, finance teams need a clean, defendable close. Therefore, this guide shows how to execute year end in TallyPrime with discipline and speed. In particular, it covers audit trail tally, reconciliations, and schedule VI tally mapping so your tally financial year closing stands up to board and audit review. BrilliantTechnologies delivers this workflow for growing firms and for teams adopting Tally in Hyderabad.
Why the year-end workflow matters
Closing on time improves trust with management and lenders; moreover, it reduces rework in Q1. Because controls are visible, auditors move faster and issue fewer queries. Consequently, the next year starts with clean openings and confident forecasts.
The CFO’s step-by-step plan (repeatable each year)
1) Govern access and enable the audit trail
First, confirm who can create, approve, and post year-end journals. Next, enable and review audit trail tally so every change has a date, a user, and a reason. As a result, adjustments for tax, depreciation, and provisions remain transparent and defensible.
2) Clean masters and tax logic before numbers
Next, merge duplicate ledgers and standardize groups. In addition, recheck GST/HSN settings, units of measure, and rounding rules. If you upgraded recently (for example, TallyPrime 3.0), then validate migrated masters. Consequently, statements map correctly the first time.
3) Enforce cut-off with reconciliations
Meanwhile, reconcile bank, AR, AP, advances, and GR/IR to hard cut-off dates. Furthermore, review inventory valuation and negative stock exceptions. Therefore, unresolved items get provisioned with clear narratives, and surprises disappear from the final TB.
4) Present correctly with Schedule VI mapping
After that, map ledgers to proper Balance Sheet and P&L heads to align with schedule VI tally. Pay special attention to equity, borrowings, reserves, and contingencies. Then export draft statements for management review; thus, formatting issues are fixed before sign-off.
5) Post core adjustments and lock the period
Finally, pass journals for depreciation, payroll accruals, doubtful debts/ECL, and inventory write-downs. Because policies must be consistent, document the basis inside each narration. Consequently, audit trail tally shows intent without extra explanation. Back up, lock the period, and create the new financial year, this completes tally financial year closing cleanly.
Procurement and IT notes from Brillianttechnologies
Additionally, many CFOs reassess deployment at year-end. If teams need anywhere access, TallyPrime online, including private cloud or AWS options, can help; however, roles, backups, and latency must be planned. Likewise, schedule a controlled Tally Prime download with IT to avoid shadow installers. When budgeting, compare editions and the Tally Prime price mix for single-user and multi-user seats; as a result, you align license volume with growth. For bulk adjustments, templates such as Excel imports speed work while keeping controls tight.
Readiness checklist before you sign off
- First, reconciliations cleared or provisioned with evidence.
- Next, schedule vi tally classification reviewed and approved.
- Then, all JVs narrated and visible in audit trail tally.
- After that, verified backup stored and the period locked.
- Finally, the new FY is created and openings validated.
