Accounting Cycle

Is a sequence of accounting procedures that are usually performed during an accounting period.

An accounting period - is the time period for which the income statement is prepared.

Calendar year - is from January 1 to December 31.

Fiscal year - is any twelve month period. A fiscal year could be a calendar year but does not have to be.

Interim reports - are statements that are usually prepared for a month or a quarter (a portion of the fiscal year)
