#1, 2, are available in GnuCash and easy enough to produce.

#3 would be done as an ‘Account Report’ while viewing the General Journal. Recall though that you’ll have to adjust the View > Filter By to show the desired dates before running the report.

#4 can be accomplished as I previously noted with a Transaction Report. But as Michael pointed out, because the way GnuCash works, there won’t be any difference (other than maybe form) as to what #3 and #4 contain. As the Journal and Ledger are not separate things (you don’t make an entry and then transfer info) there won’t be any difference in the transaction info for each. You might have to produce each just to make the auditors happy till they learn one is pointless with GnuCash.

While #5 exists in GnuCash, it does not match any textbook example I’ve seen of such a report. If you can provide an obfuscated previous example we can advise if the built-in report will suffice or if you’d have to use some other report, or need something entirely custom.

#6 is available in GnuCash.

Also, note that GnuCash can export your data in CSV, and it is stored by default in XML, both of which are open formats (non-proprietary) and can possibly be imported by whatever software they use. (the XML is compressed by default, but you can set a preference to store it uncompressed, or just unzip it before sending) That might be an option. But the reports are certainly doable.

Regards,
Adrien
