The fiscal year is (or should be) stated in a company's charter. If it's incorporated (with stock sold to the public), the fiscal year will be stated in its annual reports to stockholders. Even if not publicly owned, the fiscal year MUST be stated in its tax returns, which ought to be a matter of public record.
