Hi Samuel,

Yeah, I have seen that there are a wide variety of what people
consider to be Fiscal Years. The one that I mentioned was the US
Fiscal year, often used for reporting to USAID and PEPFAR. It seems
there might be others which may be needed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiscal_year

I found a discussion from Bob a while back about a more generic period
type to deal with these situations, but not sure if there has been any
thought or work put into it.

Maybe we go for FiscalYear beginning in October and July?

Regards,
Jason
