Explanation

The Japanese noun '決算 (けっさん)' refers to the process of settling accounts or financial statements, often at the end of a fiscal period. It is commonly used in business and finance contexts to describe the finalization of financial records, such as profit and loss statements or balance sheets. For example: The company is preparing for the settlement「会社は決算の準備をしている」(かいしゃはけっさんのじゅんびをしている). The fiscal year closing is next week「決算は来週です」(けっさんはらいしゅうです). Note that '決算' can also refer to the act of closing or finalizing something, not just financial accounts.
