Keeping books for organizations I was always exporting and editing. Keep 
in mind that the SAME (logical) report would be wanted in different 
levels of detail for different purposes. Almost always one format/level 
of detail/grouping for the Board of Directors and another for tax purposes.

For example, the BoD might want to see just the total cost of an event. 
But the treasurer needs "printing and postage" separated out form other 
costs because a 990/990EZ line item. The BoD might just want to see the 
total cost to the organizations of all interns but the treasurer needs 
to see each separately and those each split between "pay" and "mileage 
reimbursement" (to fill out possible 1099-MISC) and similarly maybe the 
total of "orchard mowing costs" for the BoD but how much to any 
neighboring farmers paid again to see if a 1099 needed.

Besides, having it outside of gnucash and under the control of and 
editor makes it easy to add annotations to explain anything unusual.
