Reporting - Group process

Reporting uses financial statements to show the financial health of a group during a specific period. This information supports management in considering a group's future and reveals a group's profitability and financial stability to capital providers such as creditors or investors.

In the Reporting section, these financial statements are used:

  • Balance sheet: An overview of a group's assets, liabilities, and stakeholders' equity in a specific period.
  • Income statement: An overview of a group's expenses and revenue in a specific period.

In Financial Consolidation, all financial data is stored only as YTD. In some reports, for example, in the Group Aggregate Income Statement report, you can enable the Current period -1 analysis column, which contains a YTD value of a period prior to the selected period. In a difference column, you can view a periodic value that results from the difference between a prior YTD period and a selected YTD period.

When you click the Rows icon in the toolbar, you can select these options:

  • Suppress Zero Rows: Rows that include only zero values are hidden. Not available for the Group Account Analysis report.
