Default Past year deffered revenue

One of my friend who is a bookkeeper is having hard time solving a deffered revenue problem.

He is started a new fiscal year for this non-profit company. He is wondering if he should transfer the deferred revenue back in their appropriate accounts to start off the new fiscal year.

I am kinda cofuse, anyone here better than me?

Deffered revenue is assumed to be unearned revenue like getting an advanced payment for 6 months rent and then making adujsting entry every month.

As this is a liability, it should just be transfered to the new year and you should continue making adjusting entries.

Hope this helped
