It has a good lead section because it clearly introduces the topic and gives a description of the main idea of the rest of the article.

The content is up to date a relevant. It talks about what an accounting period is, the different ways the can be used, and some history about it.

The article is written in a very informational and neutral way

It has good sources such as something directly from the International Accounting Standards Board. Additionally, the citations work and are pretty current.

The article does not use pictures, but it has a text box to help visualize the different types of accounting periods.
