Net (Income) Loss Grid

The Net (income) Loss amounts are the sum of the accounts assigned to revenue and expense groups in the Financial trial balance.

Report Grid

Under the Net (Income) Loss grid, you will see up to 2 tabs display based on the tax groups assigned to the accounts:

  • Report. Displays all accounts assigned to financial groups and financial sub-groups.

  • Unassigned Accounts. Displays accounts that are not assigned to a financial group. Accounts are sorted by account number or in alpha numeric.

On the Report tab, the information is represented in a hierarchy from account type down to accounts. Account balances are rolled up to each level which can assist when building or reviewing financial statements.

Here is the hierarchy structure:

Account Type

Classification

Financial Group

Financial Sub-Group or “No Sub-Group”

Subsidiary Entity (applicable for consolidated engagements)

Accounts

Click next to each level to expand and show the contents.

“No Sub-Group” appears when accounts are assigned directly to a financial group and not a financial sub-group.

Note: If this is an interim engagement, the accounts and balances are for the active period selected. To view another period, change the active period in the drop-down list.
