Trial balance

General

Under the menu point Trial Balance, the balance before and after eliminations for the entire group and each company within the group is displayed. This overview makes it easier to keep control over eliminations both at the company level and the group level.

By clicking on the balance number on an account line, the specification of the balance and eliminations affecting the selected line can be viewed.

Group Balance, Current Year’s Figures

Here the group chart of accounts shows the following columns:

• Account number and account name from the group chart of accounts
• Reference account
• Balance before eliminations
• Eliminations
• Balance after eliminations

Group Balance - Previous Year’s Figures

Under Group Balance, consolidated figures for previous years (and potentially two years back) are added by selecting the applicable year in the drop-down menu on the menu line. Click Show All to display manual fields where values can be entered.

Importing consolidated balance from Excel is also an option if desired. It is only relevant to add previous year figures the first time it is used, since the figures will be rolled over to the following year.

By exporting the balance figures first, an import file to Excel with columns is also generated for:

• Account number
• Account name
• Line in the annual report
• Balance for the year

Thus, data can be registered at the financial line level by displaying the financial line on the account.

Company Balance values

Here only the balance figures for the current year at company level are displayed, with balance before eliminations, eliminations, and after eliminations. Here, it can be chosen whether the overview should be at the group account level or the account level of the individual account in the company.

Balance figures for previous years are not displayed. By clicking the balance, a specification of the balance figures allocated to account number and eliminations can be viewed.
