Changing Date Results in Cron Jobs not Running

When our company turns the year, they want me to reset the date back
to Sep 30 each day until we have finished all accounting for that
year. Stupid I know. (Our year is Oct 1 - Sep 30)

My problem is this causes all backup and maintenance tasks scheduled
not to run.

What does scosh cronsched -r and scosh cronsched -wr do?
I can find no documentation for cronsched.

If I run it after setting the date, will it reschedule the cron jobs?

Any other ideas or suggestions?
