Some time ago a Google employee wrote a blog about this. Essentially the data is complete at 04.00h in the time zone of that account. But beware of a few notable exceptions: - When the account advertises on display networks or at search partners, it may be victim of click fraud. Google detects this and reverses the damages, but that takes two to three days. So the clicks and cost may change in the next days. - Conversions are attributed to the date of the last click, even when there are days between the conversion date and click date. The maximum time span is the life time of the conversion, which is thirty days. Further, conversion results are synchronized within the Google networks with low priority, so add another day as well. To make calculations on time zone differences, and dealing with related issues like (differences in start days of) daylight savings time, look at the libraries of your framework and/or programming language.
