FISCAL YEAR is the declared accounting year for a company, but it is not necessarily in conformance to a calendar year (January through December). However, it does cover twelve months, 52 weeks, 365 days. For example, the U. S. Government fiscal year ends September 30, i. E. October 1 through September 30 is their fiscal or accounting year.
