Income Statement Standard Report


CustomBooks™'s Income Statement Report (also referred to as the Profit & Loss, or simply P&L) is designed with accounting standards in mind. The report shows how income and expenses are incurred (both operating and non-operating) over a given time period. CustomBooks™ includes the ability to toggle between cash and accrual basis, and the report may be run with or without transaction detail.

The Standard version of the report will simply show the data as indicated by the report parameters -- there are no comparatives shown in this version. For more information about the Income Statement Comparative Report, click here.
