# S3 method for clock_year_quarter_day

x

# Compute the last moment of the fiscal quarter

# Compare that to just setting the day to `"last"`,
# which doesn't affect the other components
set_day(x, "last")

# Compute the start of the fiscal year
calendar_start(x, "year")

as_date(calendar_start(x, "year"))
