I find it helpful to run some year-end reports part-way through the year in question, to answer any  how-are-we-doing-so-far enquiries, so I do save (e.g.) a report named “Charity Gift Aid Report for 2022-2023”, but have retained its 2021-2022 predecessor for comparison. Once the Gift Aid Claim has been completed, I’ll edit the report  and Save As “Charity Gift Aid Report for 2023-2024”. Sometimes a new account becomes necessary and can be added to the selection reported on in 2023-2024 leaving the earlier versions intact.

The report name is constructed in three parts, to identify:

1. The Gnucash file it applies to
2. The subject of the report
3. The financial year of the report
