What is a Fiscal Year?

A fiscal year is a time interval for annual accounting, which is the time limit that reflects the unit's financial status and accounting for operating results. Under normal circumstances, the operation and business activities of a unit are always continuous. If the unit's financial and operating results are not calculated until the unit's operations and business activities are completed, it is not conducive to the external stakeholders of the unit to understand the The operating conditions can not meet the needs of the enterprise's own management. Therefore, in accounting, the continuous operation process is artificially divided into several equal periods, which are settled in sections, financial accounting reports are prepared in sections, and the financial status and operating results of the units are reflected in sections. This period of time for accounting is divided into accounting periods.
