npo-accounting-ikiwiki/UseCases/GeneratingReports.mdwn

As an US-based NPO I need a way to *generate reports* in order to:

- Send the reports to an auditor
- Forward them to organization members.

The usual reports an NPO is expected to generate, and all of these should be generatable for any given date period:

- [Trial balance](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_balance)
- [Bank Reconciliation Report](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_reconciliation)
    + This report often needs to be generated with input from the user, since [the subset sum problem](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem) is NP-complete, human intervention is often needed to identify the specific transactions to show on this report.
- [Chart of accounts](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_of_accounts)
- Cash Disbursments Journal
- Income Report (just a list/sum of all Income accounts for a period)
- Expenses Report  (just a list/sum of all Expenses accounts for a period)
- [[Fund Report|UseCases/FundAccounting#FundReport]]

Also, To handle [[UseCases/FundAccounting]] all of these reports should be generatable narrowed to specific funds.
