Closing an accounting period in Re-Leased finalises your financial records for that month, ensuring your reports are accurate and audit-ready. It is recommended to complete a Close of Period each month.


Before Closing a Period

Ensure the following are done before closing:

  • All bank statement transactions have been imported and reconciled.

  • End-of-month disbursements are complete — especially if Periodic Statements are enabled.


How to Close a Period

  1. Navigate to Client/Trust Accounts > Close Period.
