French term or phrase: exercice
Are we talking about "financial year" or "fiscal year" here? I think it is fiscal although a previous similar translation by someone else which I assume has been approved uses "financial year". To complicate matters the glossary I have been given uses "fiscal". This is in France from 1st October to 30 September. Any thoughts?
