Overview

The Profit & Loss (P&L) report consolidates performance across your entities in a single, presentation currency. Use it to configure periods and currency, customise what’s shown, drill into source transactions, and share polished outputs.


Create a P&L Report

  1. Go to Group Financial Reporting → Reports and click Add Report.

  2. Set Report Name, select the Group, and choose the GRT (Group Reporting Template).

  3. Pick the Year, Frequency (Monthly / Quarterly / Annually), and Report Periods.

  4. Choose the Report Presentation Currency (figures are translated from the Group Reporting Currency using average monthly rates).

  5. Click Add. The report appears in your list; open Preview to view it.


Customise the View

Use Settings in the report toolbar to:

  • Periods: Add/remove months in-view.

  • Group Class: Filter to analyse specific segments.

  • Journals: Include consolidation journals or view pre-adjustment data; optionally show intercompany accounts separately.

  • Entities: Select which entities to include alongside the consolidated total.

  • Currency & Display: Switch display currency or adjust format options.


Workpapers Status & Currency Logic

  • Completion status: Monthly columns show a green tick when the month is completed in Working Papers.

  • Currency: The “in Actual” indicator confirms conversion from Group Reporting Currency using average monthly rates for each period.


Drill-Down & Audit Trail

Click any account line to see:

  • Underlying transactions and dates/refs sourced from Xero or QuickBooks.

  • Entity-level contributions and any intercompany eliminations.

  • A complete path from source data to consolidated figures.

In Reports, drill-down lets you analyse contributions and adjustments at the entity and consolidation level.


For transaction-level deep links back to the source system, open the corresponding period in Working Papers, where every entry is traceable to its origin.


Manage Reports

  • Edit: Reopen the configuration to adjust periods, entities, currency, or template.

  • Duplicate: Create a copy for a new variant; rename as needed.

  • Delete: Remove a report you no longer need.


Share & Export

  • Email: Send to up to 10 recipients; choose PDF, XLSX, or XLS and add a short note.

  • Export: Download from the toolbar for offline analysis or board packs.


Exchange Rates

Select Exchange Rate in the toolbar to view the FX rates used for translation, ensuring transparency in multi-currency reporting.
