# End of Month (EOM) processing guidelines

Accentis Enterprise is a live posting, all-open-periods system whereby it is not necessary to roll over from one month to the next. Subject to permissions and configurable lock-outs, you can post any transaction to any period, prior or future to achieve the correct data entry result. Typically, once key reports have been done, the entire journal is locked to the end of the month so that nothing can be altered again.

Before locking off the end of each month, however, there are a number of checks and reports that should be run as part of your business’s financial reporting regime as well as reports that cross-check account allocations within the system and ensure that any data entry errors have been identified.
