Configuring the fiscal calendar
A fiscal calendar is a 12-month accounting period that an organization uses to manage their financial reporting and accounting activities. The calendar helps you track important financial events, such as the end of a quarter or end of fiscal year, and plan for financial reporting and tax obligations. A fiscal calendar year can be different to a calendar year where January 1 is the start of the year and December 31 is the end of the year. You typically use a fiscal calendar to better manage cash flow and ensure the organization’s compliance with applicable accounting standards and regulations.
Important: You must be an Admin to edit the settings available in the 'Fiscal calendar' function; otherwise, the information is read only.
