Reports
There are two types of reports: a "Balance Sheet" and
a "Profit and Loss Statement".
A Balance Sheet shows Assets, Liabilities and Equity. The sum of
all assets should equal the sum of Liabilities and Equity.
A Profit and Loss Statement shows Income and Expenses. The
sum of all Income minus all expenses is the Profit or Loss.
The change in Equity from day to day (year to year) should
equal that day's (year's) profit or loss.
