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.
What It Is. A fiscal year is an accounting period of 365(6) days that does not necessarily correspond to the calendar year beginning on January 1st. The fiscal year is the established period of time when an organization's annual financial records commence and conclude. How It Works A company's fiscal year will always reflect the date of the calendar year in which it ends. For example: The financial operations of the federal government are carried out in a fiscal year that begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. Therefore the government's fiscal year for 2008 would begin on October 1, 2007 and end on September 30, 2008. Why It Matters The key thing to remember is that a fiscal year doesn't necessarily correspond with the calendar year.
