How to change date format

The preferred date format is "dd/MM/yyyy". This is to ensure that there is no confusion on critical date sensitive information such as Calendar Periods, Pay Bank Dates, Transaction Dates, etc.

Steps to configure the date format:

Goto "Control Panel -> Region -> Formats" and change the "Short date:" to "dd/MM/yyyy".
Goto "Control Panel -> Region -> Administrative -> Change system locale" and choose "English (Australia)".

The report scheduler uses the "system account" to generate reports in the background. This uses the "System Locale" format.
