Need clarification about account timezones and DST in report data

Hi,

I've read documentation and other forums thread about how daylight savings time is handled for the account timezones, but I am still a bit confused. Can you please provide some clarification on that?

I do know that the AccountTimeZoneId report field does not take DST into account (and that the UTC offset remains the same throughout the year), and that the SOAP API returns a standard timezone name (without UTC offset specified)

I would like to know if the timezone handling in report does actually work like that:

• Reporting metrics are always correct for the UTC offset returned in the AccountTimeZoneId field
• And report data and AdWords web UI show a 1-hour discrepancy with the actual local time of the user when DST is in effect

Or is it the other way around? (e.g. report data use local time with DST applied and during summer there is a 1-hour offset between the report metrics and the report timezone offset)
