Introduction

The General Ledger report shows you all the financial activity of your business and is made up of your Chart of Accounts. The report will contain account summaries and has details of every transaction that goes in and out of your accounts and is organised by both date and account type.

The main purpose of a general ledger report is to monitor all your company’s financial activities as it summarises different areas of your accounting in one place.
