Budget Year

Preparing accounts for new financial year - how do I number my receipts?

Should I restart the numbering at (1) or continue numbering from my previous year's accounts? I have some creditors from the last financial year.

1. Just carry on from the last number. It wil be easier if you have to back track to find a receipt.
2. 1 to 10!!!
3. continue from the last number. Alternatively have a letter as a prefix.
4. carry forward from tht previous year. If you start re-using numbers, it becomes difficult to trace exactly which invoices relate to which expense. Particularly if the Revenue decide they want to go back several years.
