If you go to Edit --> Style Sheets you can customize your reports 
and then choose in the report options to use your customized 
stylesheet.

I *think* that the fiscal year is hard coded but you can choose 
for any report the starting date and ending date so you can get 
exactly the timeframe you want.

Not sure what you need, but you can print an account report for 
the same period as your bank statement. If reconciled, it should 
be the same :-)

The account summary report will print the account tree (with 
balances)

Not sure what you mean. If you are using the program you are 
making journal entries.
