Reports are arguably one of the most important aspects of your accounting system. They are used to measure historic performance, control current activities, give compliance information, provide current management information and plan for the future. MoneyWorks comes with a (possibly dauntingly) large number of reports, more than you will probably ever need.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. The Daily Ledger report (In General Ledger) for example shows the daily balance in the nominated GL accounts. Here it is showing the daily bank balances for Acme Widgets.
Depending on what you are trying to achieve, some of the main reports are:
For historic financials (up to seven years):
Cashflow Report (where did all your cash go to);
Profit and Loss Comparison (monthly, budget, year to date);
