Amazingly, Americans think that since their companies announce quarterly reports very promptly, the rest of the world does as well. Most European Companies do not announce their official reports until 6-12 months after the end of the business year. So if you want the data for a November 1998 term company in Europe, it may well not be available until the end of 1999. Japan does comparatively well. Japanese companies must make their official filings of their corporate reports 3 months after the end of the business year.
