AGENCY REPORTS—REPORTING CYCLE

Each STARS agency report is routinely generated on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Reports generated daily usually present the data for a single day of processing. On the other hand, reports produced weekly generally present current month-to-date data rather than data for a single week. Monthly reports present figures relating to transactions coded with a particular fiscal month indicator. The previous two files for Agency Report Master List shows each report and its normal frequency in the "Frequency" column.

In addition to the normal routine production of reports, many agency reports can be prepared for a current month-to-date period. See Agency Reports--Special Requests.
In this sense, the reporting cycle is a continuous one.
