- Year end accounting: The accounting period or financial year, the completion of any one-year or 12-month accounting period other than a general calendar year of an accounting period is what we know as year-end. The accounting period is not always the calendar year across the world. In the UAE, the fiscal accounting year begins on January 1st and finishes on December 31st, but in the UK, it is from April 1st to March 31st. Companies are typically required to present a report at the end of the year for their entire year’s business activities, regardless of the country in which they are located. At the end, businesses are required to close all temporary accounts and carry forward the accounts to the following year in order to avoid any confusion and complications in the accounts to be generated in the following year.
