Tilinpäätösvuosi
Tilinpäätösvuosi refers to the accounting period for which a company or organization prepares its financial statements. In most countries, this period is aligned with the calendar year, meaning it runs from January 1st to December 31st. However, businesses can opt for a different fiscal year, which might begin and end on dates other than those of the calendar year. This is often referred to as a "deviating financial year" or "epätavallinen tilinpäätösvuosi." The duration of a tilinpäätösvuosi is typically twelve months, although the first or final financial year of a company's existence may be shorter or longer.
The primary purpose of the tilinpäätösvuosi is to provide a standardized timeframe for reporting financial performance
