Further trust accountings shall be filed at least once every two years and the covered period shall be the two years of trust administration that followed the covered period for the last accounting and shall be filed within ninety days of the end of the covered period of each accounting.

Thereafter, the guardian shall file an annual accounting no later than the first business day of the calendar quarter in which the guardian was appointed. The covered period for each guardianship accounting after the first accounting shall be twelve (12) months of the guardian's administration of the property of the person with a disability, with each covered period beginning the day after the final day of the previous accounting.
