Profit and loss report
Requirement
All registered companies must produce a profit and loss report, or an income statement, and send it to the government.
In Switzerland, a specific layout is required for this report. These standards are used for reporting:
- Switzerland accounting standards (OR)
- IFRS standards
M3 solution
With the M3 Financial Report Generator module (RGR), any type of official report can be formatted and produced from M3 General Ledger. The same reports can also be saved and used to provide the same information as an M3 online enquiry.The balance file keys are used to store the aggregate of transactional data to make it more efficient to display and report on this information. Various M3 programs can be used from the general ledger function to display, control, and maintain the balance keys.
Reporting for another financial reporting legislation, for example the US GAAP, can be defined in parallel.
