Thanks, that is the type of setting I want, but the documentation says it all: to quote: I've been using this hack which changes the definition of current and previous year in reports to start 1 July. It will be overwritten each time a new version of GnuCash is installed and it's unlikely to work

As other posters have said, the UK doesn't follow Australia in the definition of the fiscal year (though if they did use the same dates as us, it would probably be more accurate to express it the other way around). There are a wide variety of dates for the fiscal year across the world.

Nothing so simple in the UK the HMRC annual period ends on 5th April each year... Not the most obvious date, I know. AIUI, It is all to to with a legacy from the Roman Empire, with Popes and Kings who thought they were more in charge in the year 15-so and so. (or maybe 13-so and so)

Hi Doug Nice to hear from another Aussie PCLOS & GNUCash user! I have the same version of GNC as you (as that's what is in the repo!) - I haven't been using GNC for long but I set the accounting period in the Preferences as Absolute to 1st July 20 to 30 Jun 21 (ie last fin year)
