General Ledger Verification Report Instructions
Use the General Ledger Verification Report to compare the period balances for GL accounts. The report provides columns for each account number as well as columns for the first six periods or the last seven periods of the year, and account totals. You can specify to report the current fiscal year or a year in history, and you can limit the accounts on the report by account element.
Tips:
For more information about running reports, see Print View.
For more information about the buttons on the toolbar, see the Reporting Toolbar.
A copy of the report is saved to report history for a complete audit trail.
Grand totals for each Period should be zero. If not, then the Period is clearly out of balance.
The Periods 1-6 report prints the beginning balance and the account totals sum up only Periods 1 through 6.
The Periods 7-13 report omits the beginning balance and the account totals sum up all Periods (1-13).
