kvartaliga

Kvartaliga is a term with roots in several Slavic languages, generally referring to a quarter of a year, or a period of three months. This division of the year into four parts is a common method for organizing and reporting on time-based activities, particularly in business and finance. For instance, companies often release their financial results on a quarterly basis, with statements covering the first quarter (Q1), second quarter (Q2), third quarter (Q3), and fourth quarter (Q4). This allows for regular assessment of performance and trends. Beyond financial reporting, the concept of a kvartaliga can also be applied to planning, project management, and other areas where time is a critical factor. The specific months assigned to each kvartaliga can vary depending on regional customs or specific organizational needs, but the standard international convention typically aligns Q1 with January-March, Q2 with April-June, Q3 with July-September, and Q4 with October-December. The term emphasizes a distinct segment of time within the larger annual cycle.
