Alternative Year End Balance Sheet
Run a Balance Sheet report for a different Accounting Year to your default Accounting Year
Use Case:
Let’s say you are an Australian Company with a Financial Year that runs July to June. But maybe you have an office in a market such as the US where the Financial/Accounting Year runs January to December.
This feature allows you for example to run a Balance Sheet for the year ended December 2017 – even though your AccountAbility database is configured with a July to June Accounting Year.

Users can select any month – the system will calculate the balance sheet as if that was the last month of the accounting year.
Users can run a P&L across multiple Accounting Years – that has always been available under Accounting > General Ledger > General Ledger Reports > Profit And Loss Statements > Monthly Profit and Loss Report. Select any range of 12 months for the report even if that spans across two Accounting Years.
