I don't think there's a global setting for time period in reports. It
would be nice if there were -- why not enter an enhancement request?

I know it's a pain to set up a time period for each individual report,
but you only have to do it once (per report). And if you are smart about
it, you'll use settings like "start of previous month" or "end of
accounting period".

When you click "Save Report Configuration As", be sure to use some
reasonable naming convention, one that makes sense to you.
