So an accural for the March -6 YE was made and reversed - no action needed by you. The cash book entry is again irrelevant for this question (I assume it was needed in another part)
That means we're left with the admin bill of £3,300 running up to 30 April -7. As this was received after the YE you need to accrue the relevant expense and that would be dated at the year end. You work this out be adjusting for the months the bill covers in the year (2/3).
