USAS Profile Review and Cleanup Reports
To prepare for the June 18, 2022, rollover to fiscal 2023, the Comptroller’s office will transmit USAS Profile Review and Cleanup Reports to agencies June 3 - 16.
The reports:
- Help agencies review certain USAS profiles so necessary changes are made before the June 18 rollover.
- Allow review of transaction entries, appropriation and USAS balances to prepare for fiscal year end.
- Include USAS data through the previous business day.
Contact your financial reporting analyst with report questions. Contact the Comptroller’s help desk at (512) 463-HELP (4357) if you need retransmission of the reports.
See USAS Profile Review and Cleanup Procedures (FPP A.031) for more information.
USAS Profile Rollover to FY/AY23
The annual USAS profile rollover occurs June 18. The process automatically creates new profiles for fiscal year (FY) and appropriation year (AY) 2023, based on existing FY22 and AY22 profiles.

Review USAS IT File Daily [posted 05/31/22]
State agencies and institutions of higher education must review their USAS IT file daily and complete the maintenance necessary to keep the file current and ensure timely processing. Older transactions may not process due to closed fiscal periods.
