+ Define your company's fiscal year depending on the period you have chosen to follow. A fiscal year is a 1 year period over which a company budgets its spending. It may run over any period of 12 months. The fiscal year is referred to by the date in which it ends. For example, if a company's fiscal year ends November 30, 2011, then everything between December 1, 2010 and November 30, 2011 would be referred to as FY 2011. Not using the actual calendar year gives many companies an advantage, allowing them to close their books at a time which is most convenient for them.
