Meaning of Fiscal Year in the congressional and executive budget processes (GAO source): Any yearly accounting period, regardless of its relationship to a calendar year. The fiscal year for the federal government begins on October 1 of each year and ends on September 30 of the following year; it is designated by the calendar year in which it ends.
