Average for the counting period

Definition

The average for the counting period is calculated by summing all the individual counts and dividing it by the number of periods for which a count was taken. For the reporting year, if a count was taken n times, the average is calculated as the SUM (Count1 + Count2 + ...Countn) DIVIDED by n. A reporting year is a financial year. It begins on 1 July and ends on 30 June of the following year.
