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.
Part of the Business terms glossary: A fiscal year is the twelve-month period that an organization uses for budgeting, forecasting and reporting. Although many organizations follow the calendar year, a fiscal year can start at any point in the year and end 12 months later. The fiscal year of the United States government, for example, runs from October 1 to September 30. Fiscal years are identified according to the year in which they end. Usually a fiscal year begins on the first day of the beginning month and ends on the last day of the 12 th month. However, some companies choose to have fiscal years that comprise only full weeks and end on a particular day of the week.
