To ensure that there will be no overlapping of transactions between 2024 and 2025, please strictly adhere to the following guidelines:
1) 2024 Payments cut off
● Approved payments received on or before 9th of December 2024 will be processed for payment transfer on the 16th of December 2024. Approved payments received between the 9th and 16th of December 2024 will be processed at the end of December 2024. Approved payment requests received after 16th of December 2024 will be processed in January 2025.
● Please avoid any delay in submission of the above documents since Finance has a deadline to close the annual account. Delay in submission means your request for payment will not be able to charge to 2024 budget.
2) Payroll
● Overtime cut off is 13th December.
● Actual overtime up to the cut-off date plus estimation of overtime for the remaining weeks up to 31st December 2024 must reach Finance Office by 13th of December 2024 for accrual in 2024 account.
● Failure to submit estimated overtime within the deadline means there will be no budget to pay the overtime.
● All completed documents for reimbursement/refund through salary should reach Finance by 11th December 2024; if not, it will be paid together with January’s salary.
3) Purchase Requisition (PR) and Purchase Orders (PO)

For materials/ services to be delivered in 2024, please request suppliers to submit their Suppliers’ invoices to Finance office by December 31 for recording in 2024 account.
Note: There is a common misunderstanding that by simply placing Purchase Requisition (PR) or Purchase Order (PO) in 2024, it is sufficient to utilize the 2024 budget.
