## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative fiscal/financial year boundary dates for a specific country, particularly for accounting, payroll, tax compliance, or cross-border financial planning workflows. It is ideal for agents that need to align reporting periods, automate tax filing schedules, or onboard clients in multiple jurisdictions. Covers 27 countries with independently tested data and returns a cryptographic audit record for compliance traceability.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country code returns an error — only ISO 2-letter codes for supported countries are accepted
- Country not in the 27-country coverage set returns a not-found or unsupported error
- Missing required query parameter 'country_code' results in a 400 bad request
- Network or upstream data source unavailability may return a 5xx error
