It is important to finish fiscal year 2007 before starting 2008, and that includes balancing the checkbook against the final bank statement. Treasurers should also make sure that they back-up all of their Winstabs data.

UTU International Auditor Steve Noyes has prepared a short guide for local treasurers to ensure that the transition goes smoothly.

Treasurers who have questions regarding the process or who are experiencing difficulties making the transition can e-mail WinStabsSupport@utu.org or contact the UTU International in Cleveland at (216) 228-9400.

An updated version of Winstabs for the year 2008 can also be obtained by e-mailing WinStabsSupport@utu.org, however, the new version is not required, Noyes said.
