[GNC] Print Accounts

[devaps at asia.com]

I think OP can try the Balance Sheet (eguile) report. That shows assets, equity, liabilities as well as temporary accounts income and expense. It’s formatted pretty nice too if you enable the report option called account depth to ALL. 

Only problem with this is if you have market linked investments like stocks and mutual funds, it will only show you current value. No option to change it to FIFO or average cost basis. 

But. I don’t think this is an issue for OPs needs. 

Cheers.

No, it doesn?t include income, expense, or trading accounts. An Income Statement/Profit & Loss report show income and expense. AFAIK no report shows trading accounts.
