Florida revises agency deadlines ahead of accounting-system transition
An October 16 Department of Financial Services memo sets preparation deadlines for state agencies ahead of the planned Florida PALM accounting-system transition.
What the record says
The revised memo asks agencies to complete work ahead of a planned January 12, 2027 Florida PALM launch. An early deadline is October 23, 2026 for requesting a new revolving fund. It also outlines extended FLAIR operating hours beginning November 2 and says project leaders will decide December 16 whether to begin cutover activities.

Practical next step
Agency finance staff should review the full memo and coordinate relevant requests with Accounting and Auditing and Treasury. The October 23 revolving-fund request uses DFS Form DFS-A1-1832.
Limits and what is not established
The memo says its dates can change through official agency notices. The transition remains subject to the December 16 decision.
