fiscal year
Budget cycle span
A fiscal year is a 12-month period used for accounting and financial reporting, which may or may not align with the calendar year.
Many businesses and governments choose fiscal years that match their operational cycles: The company's fiscal year ends in June.
The U.S. federal government's fiscal year runs October through September.
