 - Enforced deprecation of :meth:`.DataFrameGroupBy.get_group` and :meth:`.SeriesGroupBy.get_group` allowing the ``name`` argument to be a non-tuple when grouping by a list of length 1 (:issue:`54155`)
 - Enforced deprecation of ``axis=None`` acting the same as ``axis=0`` in the DataFrame reductions ``sum``, ``prod``, ``std``, ``var``, and ``sem``, passing ``axis=None`` will now reduce over both axes; this is particularly the case when doing e.g. ``numpy.sum(df)`` (:issue:`21597`)
 - Enforced deprecation of passing a dictionary to :meth:`SeriesGroupBy.agg` (:issue:`52268`)
+- Enforced deprecation of string ``A`` denoting frequency in :class:`YearEnd` and strings ``A-DEC``, ``A-JAN``, etc. denoting annual frequencies with various fiscal year ends (:issue:`57699`)
 - Enforced silent-downcasting deprecation for :ref:`all relevant methods <whatsnew_220.silent_downcasting>` (:issue:`54710`)
 - In :meth:`DataFrame.stack`, the default value of ``future_stack`` is now ``True``; specifying ``False`` will raise a ``FutureWarning`` (:issue:`55448`)
 - Iterating over a :class:`.DataFrameGroupBy` or :class:`.SeriesGroupBy` will return tuples of length 1 for the groups when grouping by ``level`` a list of length 1 (:issue:`50064`)
