# Reports > Fourteen built-in reports — balance sheet, profit & loss, cash flow, aging, trial balance, tax, inventory, and more — exportable to PDF or Excel and tax-ready year-round. Source: https://www.accountfun.com/docs/guides/reports/ AccountFUN generates standard financial reports from your posted accounting entries, so you can review your books throughout the year. Open **Reports** and pick a report; each runs against your live ledger with the parameters you choose. Reports use posted entries Approved invoices and bills, recorded payments and other posted entries appear in reports even before you match their bank lines. An imported statement line alone does not post to the ledger. Keep your bank accounts [reconciled](https://www.accountfun.com/docs/guides/bank-reconciliation/) to check that the posted records match your statements. Who can see reports Reports are visible to roles with the **Reports** permission — of the ready-made roles, Admin, Accountant, and Standard have it; Sales, Purchase, and Employee do not. See [Roles & permissions](https://www.accountfun.com/docs/guides/roles/) to control who can read your financial statements. ## Available reports | Report | Shows | Key parameters | | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Balance Sheet** | Assets, liabilities, equity at a point in time, with a retained-earnings breakdown and a balanced check | As-of date, comparative periods, display currency | | **Profit & Loss** | Revenue, gross profit, expenses, net profit over a period (defaults to current financial year) — on an **accrual** or **cash** basis | From / To dates, accrual/cash basis, comparative periods, display currency | | **Cash Flow Statement** | Operating, investing, and financing cash movements with a cash reconciliation — see the [Cash Flow guide](https://www.accountfun.com/docs/guides/cash-flow/) for how account types map to each activity | From / To, comparative periods, display currency | | **Statement of Changes in Equity** | Changes in each equity component over a period — comprehensive income, retained-earnings adjustments, and owner transactions | From / To dates, comparative periods, display currency | | **AR Aging** | Who owes you, bucketed Current / 1-30 / 31-60 / 61-90 / 90+ days, reconciled to the AR control account | As-of date, aging basis, display currency | | **AP Aging** | Who you owe, same buckets, reconciled to the AP control account | As-of date, aging basis, display currency | | **Trial Balance** | Every account’s debit/credit balance, with a balanced check | As-of date, display currency | | **Transactions** | Per-account transactions with opening, running, and closing balances — the closest thing to a general-ledger list | Accounts (multi-select), contact, date range | | **GL Transaction** | Chronological ledger lines with source-currency amounts and FX rates | Date range, currency filter | | **Realized / Unrealized FX (AR/AP)** | Realized FX from settled transactions, plus today’s unrealized FX on outstanding foreign-currency invoices and bills | As-of date | | **Bank Revaluation** | Today’s unrealized FX on bank, cash, and loan balances you hold in a foreign currency | As-of date | | **Tax** | Sales tax and purchases tax summaries, with a net tax owed/refund figure | From / To dates | | **Backordered Items** | Tracked items sold past zero (negative quantity on hand) and their pending COGS exposure | Search, sort | | **Inventory Item Details** | Inventory movements, values, and quantity on hand per tracked item, with optional grouping and subtotals by item | From / To dates, group-by item | ## Running a report 1. Open **Reports** and pick the report card. 2. Set the parameters (date range or as-of date; for multi-currency orgs, a **display currency** that converts at the period rate). 3. Read on screen — every amount is a link that drills into the underlying transactions or the document that produced it. A non-base display currency shows an amber banner noting the rate and date used. Star a report card to add it to your favorites — favorited reports appear in the **Reports** menu in the top navigation for one-click access. New orgs start with Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss, Cash Flow, and Tax pre-favorited. ## Comparatives and cash basis The **Balance Sheet**, **Profit & Loss**, **Cash Flow Statement**, and **Statement of Changes in Equity** support **comparative periods**: show up to 12 prior periods side-by-side (pick a preset of 1–5 or a custom count) to see trends at a glance. In multi-currency orgs, prior-period amounts are translated at the current rate — view in your base currency for period-accurate comparatives. The **Profit & Loss** can also switch between **accrual** and **cash** basis. Cash basis recognizes revenue when invoices are paid and expenses when bills are paid (plus direct Spend / Receive Money and credit-note refunds) — handy for a quick view of money actually moved. ## Making the report yours The **Profit & Loss** and **Balance Sheet** can be rearranged to suit how you like to read them: rename and group the lines, add comparison columns (prior year, any date range, variance, percentage) and your own notes, then save the design under a name to reuse it any time. A bar at the bottom of those two reports lets you switch between saved layouts or open the editor. See the full [Custom report layouts](https://www.accountfun.com/docs/guides/report-layouts/) guide. ## Exporting to PDF or Excel Live reports on screen follow your personal [date format](https://www.accountfun.com/docs/guides/date-formats/), or the organization default if you have not chosen your own. Printed reports, PDF output, and readable Excel exports use the organization’s format instead. Published snapshots keep the format saved at publication. Every report except **Backordered Items** has a **Download** menu with two options: * **PDF** — downloads a generated PDF where supported; otherwise opens your browser’s print dialog to print or save as PDF. * **Excel (XLS)** — downloads a spreadsheet of the report with the parameters you ran it with (shown in the file name). Excel exports are capped at 20,000 rows; if a report exceeds the limit, narrow the date range or add filters and run it again. ## Drill-downs Reports are a summary layer over your journal entries. Click a balance to drill into the **Transactions Report** scoped to that account and period, then click a transaction to reach its detail page. This chain works all the way down, so any number on any report is traceable to the entry that created it. ## Tips * **Lock prior periods** under [Settings → Organization](https://www.accountfun.com/docs/guides/settings/) once you’ve finalized them, so reports can’t be disturbed by late edits. * **AR/AP Aging** lets you age from the **due date** (when it was supposed to be paid) or the **issue date** — pick whichever matches how you chase overdue customers. * Run the **Inventory Item Details** report with **Group By → Item Code** to get per-item subtotals, and watch **Backordered Items** for tracked items sold past zero so you can reorder or adjust before period end. * For multi-currency orgs, the **Realized / Unrealized FX (AR/AP)** and **Bank Revaluation** reports are your period-end close companions — see [Multi-currency](https://www.accountfun.com/docs/guides/multi-currency/). They split your FX exposure by where it sits: money customers owe you (or you owe suppliers) vs money you’re holding in a foreign-currency bank account.
