Accounting Period

परिभाषा: An accounting period is the span of time for which accounts are drawn up and results measured — usually the financial year, but it can also be a month or quarter for internal review.

आसान शब्दों में

It is the chunk of time the accounts cover — most often the full financial year, but you can also look at a month or quarter.

हिन्दी में

लेखांकन अवधि वह समय-खंड है जिसके लिए खाते बनाए जाते हैं और परिणाम मापे जाते हैं — आम तौर पर वित्तीय वर्ष, पर आंतरिक समीक्षा के लिए महीना या तिमाही भी हो सकती है।

In English

The period (typically the FY) over which performance is measured and statements are prepared, enabling comparison across periods.

यह क्यों ज़रूरी है

Defining the period lets income and expenses be matched to the right span, so results and comparisons are meaningful. Reports in SahakarLekha are always tied to a period.
