Monthly Calendar of Accounting Tasks

The following is an example of Calendar of Tasks for the Accounting Division based on Daily, Weekly and Monthly Tasks. Some items repeat while others only occur once throughout the month. There is a certain measure of flexibility to move tasks around, as the schedule permits, so long as the deadlines are met. For that reason, this is really more of a snapshot of the suggested schedule and should not be looked at as the only way to accomplish these tasks throughout the month.
