Reviewing Fund Balances

The fund balance is affected each time the revenue account is credited or the expense account is debited. The fund balance can be viewed within the Income / Expense tab of the fund account. Go to Financials > Chart of Accounts and open a fund account (Classified as retained earnings). Click on the Income / Expense tab as shown below:

The Beginning Balance shown on this tab is the beginning balance of the current fiscal year (year 2000 in the example shown above).

The Transfers value reflects debits and credits within the fund account itself. Review the next section for details on fund transfers.

The Net Profit / Loss value is calculated by the sum of all the revenue and expense accounts associated with the specific fund and listed within the Income / Expense tab.

The Ending Balance equals the Beginning Balance + Transfers + Net Profit / Loss.

The Transfers, Net Profit / Loss, and Ending Balance values can be limited to the values on or before the monthly setting set located on the top of the Income / Expense tab. For example, Set the Show YTD balances as of option to the month of April to view the values at the end of the month of April as shown below:
