My year end is complete but has not yet been audited. How can I lock this to prevent logging into the incorrect financial year?

To prevent logging into the incorrect financial year and making any inadvertent changes after your year end is complete but not yet audited, you can close your accounts immediately. Here's how you can do it:

1. Navigate to the menu Year End → Close Accounts.
2. Check the 'Close Accounts' box and the other relevant Year End Data box (depending on whether you are using 'Income and Expenditure' or 'Receipts and Payments').
3. Click on 'Confirm'.

Closing your accounts will lock the data and prevent any changes from being made by mistake if you log into the wrong year.

If your auditor requires restatement of the accounts after the audit is complete, you can easily reopen the year, make the necessary changes, and then close it again. Simply reverse the process outlined above to reopen the year.

Remember, careful management of your financial year data is crucial to maintain accurate and reliable records. Always ensure to double-check your data before closing your accounts, and only reopen them if absolutely necessary, as per the auditor's instructions.
