Secretary Accounts Officer Question:
What is fiscal year for account officer?
Answer:
A fiscal year usually refers to an accounting year that does not end on December 31. (The accounting year of January 1 through December 31 is usually referred to as a calendar year.) Some examples of the fiscal years used by U.S. corporations include:
★ The 12 months of February 1 through January 31
★ The 12 months of October 1 through September 30
★ 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.)
