The function xform_auditee_fiscal_period_start aims to calculate the start date of an auditee's fiscal period based on the provided end date within the general_information dictionary. However, the current implementation assumes a fixed 365-day fiscal year, which does not account for leap years. This can lead to incorrect fiscal period start dates, especially around leap years.
Modify the function to check if the year of the fiscal period end date is a leap year and adjust the calculation accordingly. Here's a proposed adjustment:
# Determine if the fiscal_end_date's year is a leap year
if isleap(fiscal_end_date.year):
days_to_subtract = 366
else:
days_to_subtract = 365
# Adjusted calculation for the fiscal start date
fiscal_start_date = fiscal_end_date - timedelta(days=days_to_subtract) + timedelta(days=1)
