Financial statements are included in a company s annual report, which may or may not coincide with the calendar year. The fiscal year for The Walt Disney Company begins in October and ends in September. Companies may decide a fiscal year that does not align with the calendar year as more appropriate, considering their industry. Companies may want to remove the negative seasonal effects and end on a high note, where reported revenue is high or when the purchase of inventory is low. As an example, Target Corporation s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31. One can infer this is because all the revenue and reconciliation of returned merchandise have been accounted for after the holiday season. Since the busy season is over, the accountants and staff are available to close the books.
