I'm not sure. Government, education, the nonprofit sector, and perhaps other realms utilize various fiscal years, so having ::FiscalYear under ::Business might not be optimal. One thought: A "fiscal year" is type of calendar, and as the (long-ago) DT consensus was that all "calendars" are adopted fictions, perhaps it should be DT::Calendar::FiscalYear. The API would have to be somewhat different from the existing DT::C modules, to accept the appropriate start-day and other parameters, rather than having these things written in as with the 'normal' Calendars. Maybe DateTime::Accounting::FiscalYear or even DateTime::Fiscal::FiscalYear as both "accounting" and "fiscal" are terms used beyond business.
