a) Check and ensure all the invoices which are expected to release to accounting are released with the required corrections. 

b) Ensure all the batch job run through successfully for year end postings.

c) Since order, delivery and billing docs are not based on year. so no need to worry. However the associated accounting document for an invoice is based on year and company code.

d) In case you are running a consolidation module, then all the required data needs to go into the parent company for year calculations.

Final Note:

Normally we are concerned about the Invoice posting and the accrual postings. To see if there are any Invoices pending to be posted to accounting can be seen in "VFX3" and Accounting tables corresponding to each billing document are BKPF and BSEG

And for Accruals, you can check whether the volume is current or not in the agreement itself in "VBO2" in the agreement status checkbox. If it still has to be settled , then do the same using the report "SDBONT06" or the transaction "VBOF". You may have to run to OVB3 if you have Changed the following:

- Creation of new accesses for rebate processing
- New rebate relevance of sales organizations
- New rebate relevance of billing types
- New rebate relevance of sold-to parties.

Apart from these check if there are any incomplete documents are there in V.01 Transaction.

For number ranges, transaction is "VN01" / SNUM / SNRO (Object level).

Apart from these normally, you may not need to do much.
