As a practical matter, if someone says at the top of a new report "this report includes the revisions made due to the CoE on the past report in addition to new transactions" I've never seen anyone complain (and I've done that). Though for self-ratifying reports (the notary rep isn't self-ratifying, right?), it's probably a better practice to publish the corrected old report right after seeing the CoE, so it can self-ratify cleanly without worrying about new errors. -G.
