The
date on your annual report should refer to the time period that
the text covers. Most nonprofits issue their
2005 Annual Report in 2006, because they are talking about the
previous year's accomplishments. If your fiscal year overlaps
two calendar years, include both years in your title, e.g., 2004-2005
Annual Report.
The
exception to the rule is when you issue a "Progress
Report" that
summarizes recent achievements without assigning them to
a standard timeframe. In that case, it is acceptable to use the
year the report was issued in, e.g., 2005 Progress Report.
