Definicja shortened fiscal year

A shortened fiscal year arises following a shift in the end of the fiscal year.

The shortened fiscal year covers the period between the end of the last fiscal year in the old cycle and the beginning of the next fiscal year in the new cycle. For example, if your old fiscal year runs from October 1 1997 to September 30 1998 and you want the new fiscal year to begin on January 1 1999, you would set up a shortened fiscal year for the period October 1 1998 to December 31 1998.
