The fiscal year is set on the import template when importing budgets, on the 'Field defaults' tab. Perhaps you are importing budgets to a different fiscal year than you intended to?

If you want to see the expected 'format', then use the Export Budgets function to create the XLS or CSV file. Only export the account, department and 12 (13) period budgets, not the fiscal year.
