Profit & Loss

The profit and loss report (P&L), or income statement, is presented in account number order and shows how a company's result (profit, loss or zero result) has been for a certain period of time usually a quarter or a financial year. In a Profit & Loss report you can gain understanding of, among other things, sales, gross profit and profit before and after tax.

If you tick Compact, the amounts are summed per account group, and thus not every account is shown separately.

Official Reports
