Quarter-End Closing

Quarter-end closing is the accounting process conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter to finalise books, reconcile accounts, and prepare interim financial reports. It ensures up-to-date financial data for shareholders, regulators, and internal management. Quarterly closings also support compliance with reporting requirements for public companies.
