Let us take an example:
Suppose you are preparing accounts for 01.04.2011 to 31.03.2012
AY and PY concept comes in taxation.
PY (always from April to March) will be the year for which the accounts is prepared for taxation purposes i.e. 01.04.2011 to 31.03.2012 (11-12)
AY (always from April to March) is the immediate 12 months after P.Y. i.e. 01.04.2012 to 31.03.2013 (12-13)
FY & Accounting Year is the concept of Accounts.
FY - It is the 12 months period for which the accounts/financial statements are maintained (In our example, it will be 01.04.2011 to 31.03.2012). It is this period for which the company prepares and publishes its accounts.
Acct Yr - The company may follow additional reporting for some other purposes (like for submitting accounts with Banks, Holding Company). That will be accounting year. It is a general term.
Prior Years - The years which have passed already. In our case all years before 11-12 will be prior year.
Forth years - The years coming after the current FY. All years after 11-12 will be forth years in our example.
