French term

2008p

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) IT group investment file
The year is not important (at least I don't think so) but the file is full of references to periods of time and often I get "2008-2011p" or "pendant la période 2004-2007p".
What does the "p" mean - at first I thought it could be a typo, but it comes up too often.

financial year???? only thing I can think of is that this is an obscure abbreviation for accounting year as opposed to calendar year, but no idea what exactly it could stand for. Anyone got a suggestion?

forecast / provisional

Probably abbrev for 'provisoire'.
As in '2008 forecast' or 'provisional figures for 2008' etc
Peer comment(s):

neutral Julie Barber : but it also has them listed for 2007. Anyway, if it's a filing system it could just be an internal thing
