GL: Comparative Income Statement

Overview

The Comparative Income Statement consists of the item amounts from two of a company's statements arranged side by side in a single statement, with dollar changes and percentage changes shown in the additional columns. The Comparative Income Statement compares a selected period with the same period from last year.

To print an Income Statement for the current year select the Exclude Last Year Totals check box.

You can filter, group, and print by Tiers, allowing for total customization of the report. To make filtering easier, for any Tier, you can include All, Pick/Create or Exclude parameters. Using Tier Templates to set up and save report templates makes it easy to generate a specific report each time you need it, without having to recreate the criteria. See Using Tier Templates for more information.

In addition, you may also include budgeted figures for each line item, Current, and YTD.

It is important to note that when using Dated Tiers that are in the middle of the month, the budget amount will go to the tier at the beginning of the month, rather than the tier selected for the remainder of the month.
