Explain the term Reporting interval - Management accounting

For most businesses, financial accounting reports are produced on an annual basis, though some large businesses produce half-yearly reports and a few produce quarterly ones. Management accounting reports may be produced as frequently as required by managers. In several businesses, managers are provided with certain reports on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, which permits them to check progress frequently. Additionally, special-purpose reports would be prepared when required (for instance, to evaluate a proposal to purchase a piece of equipment).
