I started to reply earlier, then got distracted.

Paul - Can you specify what you mean by this?  From memory, I believe  
KMM does have the ability to set a start of fiscal year other the  
January 1.  However, if you mean to automatically, or  
semi-automatically archive and purge old data from the previous  
year(s), no, KMM does not have that feature.  I believe it's been  
discussed a number of times on the mailing list, and there may even  
already be an enhancement request at bugs.kde.org, although perhaps  
not, if Allan didn't find it.  That's the place to log the request so  
it doesn't get lost.

I don't think there is much objection to such a feature - just the lack  
of a developer with sufficient time available to write the code.
