The short run refers to a period of less than one year.

Explanation:

The statements is false that the short run refers to a period of less than one year.

The short run, long run and very long run are different time periods in economics.

Short run - where one factor of production (e. g. capital) is fixed.

long run - Where all factors of production are variable,

Unlike in accounting where operating period refer to a period of one year, there is no hard and fast definition as to what is classified as "long" or "short" and mostly relies on the economic perspective being taken.
