Eelarveperiood

Eelarveperiood, also known as the fiscal year, is the period over which a government or organization's financial statements are prepared and reported. It is a standard accounting period used to measure the financial performance of an entity. The length of an eelarveperiood can vary, with the most common being 12 months, but it can also be shorter or longer depending on the entity's needs and the specific requirements of the jurisdiction in which it operates.

The eelarveperiood is typically aligned with the calendar year, but it can also start and end on different dates. For example, some governments and organizations may use a fiscal year that begins on April 1 and ends on March 31 of the following year, or one that starts on July 1 and ends on June 30. The choice of eelarveperiood can impact the timing of financial reporting and the presentation of financial results.

The eelarveperiood is an important concept in financial accounting and is used to track the income, expenses, and assets of an entity over a specific period. It is also used to compare the financial performance of an entity over time and to make informed decisions about its financial health and future prospects. In some cases, the eelarveperiood may be adjusted to reflect changes in the entity's operations or to align with the fiscal year of another entity with which it has a significant relationship.
