FIGURE 6.1 Year-dependent fiscal year<br />

n<br />

The second type of fiscal year is a year-independent fiscal year.<br />

A year-independent fiscal year is not relevant to a particular<br />

year. The year-independent fiscal year is further subdivided<br />

into a calendar year <strong>and</strong> a noncalendar year. A calendar year<br />

always starts on January 1 <strong>and</strong> ends on December 31, while a<br />

noncalendar year can start in any month.<br />

FIGURE 6.2 Noncalendar fiscal year<br />

In Figure 6.2, the fiscal years are noncalendar years because they start on<br />

dates other than January 1.
