[GNC-dev] Report with Fiscal Year

[Arman Schwarz]

When I want to generate charts for financial years I just set the start/end
dates to 1 July / 30 June. I haven't run into a situation where Australian
financial years have caused problems.

Is there a specific chart or report you're trying to run that doesn't work
in this way?
