Deposits Report

[TanyaMc]

Again I think there is miscommunication. The current problem I was trying to
solve was getting a report that showed all of the deposits for each month
that I have to give to the person that tracks individual donor amounts and
fund allocations for those donations. That is why I was using the cash flow
report because the reimbursable payments to the asset account don't show up
on the inc and exp report. I now have the report I needed/posted about
because I changed the accounts the cash flow report was using. This is a
special report for a special use, not something that a CPA might want, but
what is required in my particular situation. Ideally there would be
separation of duties and we'd all use the same software, do independent
reconciliation, audits, etc. But that is not our reality.

As for reports used to analyze the church's financial status, I give the
board the inc/exp and the balance sheet reports along with comparison to
prior period balance sheet for their analysis of how the year is going (goal
being net income on the inc/exp and no loss of assets).

Regarding the set up of the chart of accounts, I posted an image of the
account properties. Did you something awry in that image? As for issues with
how the chart of accounts is set up, could you give an example of what I
have versus what you would do? I would appreciate that. If there aren't
specific examples in the user guide that address fund accounting like this,
please point me to them. This is a volunteer gig in addition to a full time
job, a full time family, and other responsibilities. So while I am willing
to learn, I don't have a lot of time for reading! If I did I'd like to read
a real book much moreso than a manual. :)

Thanks for your concern.
