Define your company's financial year according to your needs. A financial year is a period at the end of which a company's accounts are made up (usually 12 months). The financial year is usually referred to by the date in which it ends. For example, if a company's financial year ends November 30, 2011, then everything between December 1, 2010 and November 30, 2011 would be referred to as FY 2011.

An account is part of a ledger allowing your company to register all kinds of debit and credit transactions. Companies present their annual accounts in two main parts: the balance sheet and the income statement (profit and loss account). The annual accounts of a company are required by law to disclose a certain amount of information.
