I confess I don't understand your distinction between "accountant-made
entries" and others, so this may or may not be helpful:

Can you set up a filter that will capture the entries you want? A
time-honored way would be to tag "accountant-made entries" with some
unique character code in the Description or Notes field, and filter on
that character code.

Another thought: You mentioned depreciation. Can you distinguish between
"accountant-made entries" and others based on the presence or absence of
a split in the transaction being posted to one of a particular set of
account names? If so, I'll bet there's a report that presents the
information you want, and on the report's Options screen you can specify
those accounts.
