Year end options

Michael

Thanks for this very interesting tutorial.

On a more general basis I have to ask what file is to be saved. Is it "NAMEOFFILE.gnucash" ?

  If you want to mimic the way it was done in the old days, pen and ink on 
  paper in bound volumes with new volumes for each year you can.

  1) Before doing the "close the books", make a copy of the file -- pre 
  close (run the P&L report)
  2) After doing "close the books" make another -- post close. (run the 
  Balance Sheet)
  3) Export the CoA and import into your books for the new yea. Use the 
  Balance Sheet to enter the initial balances of all the standing account 
  (all the accounts of type asset, liabilities, and equity -- all the 
  income and expense accounts will be zero)
  4) I would ALSO ---- make copies of the first two copies on read only 
  memory an send to a safe location leaving the one you have on site for 
  quick reference if needed. Run a Balance Sheet on the new file to 
  confirm that it matches what you (supposedly) entered data from.
