By what date must program reports be submitted every year?

• A. February 1
• B. March 1
• C. January 31
• D. April 15

Answer: (A)

Program reports are tied to the annual cycle: data from the prior year is collected after the year ends, analyzed, and then submitted for review. The required date, February 1, gives a clear cutoff that allows time to finalize numbers from December and compile everything before the new cycle begins. Submitting on January 31 would compress the process into one last day, making accuracy harder; March 1 moves the deadline into the next month, delaying the review and planning processes; April 15 is outside the reporting window and is associated with tax filings rather than internal program reporting. So February 1 is the established due date for consistent, timely reporting.
