Interim Financial Reporting is a detailed financial report prepared by a company for measuring and evaluating the firm’s progress on a less than annual basis, such as monthly, quarterly, and half-yearly financial reports. It provides an overview to businesses, shareholders, investors, and other users to understand the firm’s capacity to generate profits, determine cash flows, and the company’s liquidity position and financial standings.
