Data can be entered and uploaded to AROC at any time.  AROC encourages users to enter their data quarterly or even monthly so that the process of correcting errors never becomes too overwhelming.  Although AROC will accept data at any time, it must be submitted (with errors resolved) before a data close date to be included in the run of reports. 

The benchmark reports are run twice a year:

• Calendar year reports: Jan 01 – Dec 31 period (Reporting data closes Feb 14)
• Financial year reports: Jul 01 – Jun 30 period  (Reporting data closes Aug 14)
