> Releasing financial data daily, you are much more likely to release incorrect info and then have to go back and correct it.
Why do you need to "go back"? The corrected data would be available the very next day (or month (or week or fortnight) if you don't want to go to that extreme).
If you publicly release incorrect financial results, there is a formal process you have to follow to notify the public that you made an error (“restating results”). But if you catch the error before you release the results, you get to skip all that. Make people release results daily, they’d be restating past results all the time, because they wouldn’t have time to catch errors prior to release.
