報ほう告こくN3
報告 is the general word for reporting or informing anyone, while 上申 specifically means reporting upward to a superior within a hierarchy.
具ぐ申しん
具申 means to state one's opinion or detailed findings to a superior, close in register to 上申 but emphasizing the content given rather than the act of reporting itself.
進しん言げん
進言 is offering advice or a suggestion to a superior, whereas 上申 is submitting a formal report or request upward.

申しん告こくN1
申告 and 上申 share the kanji 申 but 申告 means a formal declaration or filing (e.g., a tax return) to an authority, not a report to one's own superior like 上申.

件けんN2
matter; affair; case; item; subject · counter for received messages · counter for online accounts

Compound of 上 (above, superior) and 申 (to say, to report). The kanji combination directly conveys the meaning of reporting upward.
