A fiscal year is an accounting period. The accounting period can either be the calendar year from January to December or another 12-consecutive-month period selected by a company. Fiscal years are important because they are the period by which companies generate a variety of financial data and determine taxes, profits and expenses.
(The accounting year of January 1 thrugh December 31 is usually referred to as a calendar year.) Some examples of the fiscal years used by U.S. corporations include: 1  the 12 months of February 1 through January 31. 2  the 12 months of October 1 through September 30. 3  the 12 months of June 1 through May 31. the 52 weeks (four 13-week quarters) ending on the Saturday closest to January 31 (This will require an occasional fiscal year of 53 weeks since 52 weeks X 7 days = 364 days vs. 365 days per year.)
