	Periodic Financial (Monthly Board) Report
	How can I customize and print the Periodic Financial Report? There is an amount on my report I don't understand. How can I find out more about the amount in question? (Detail Boxes) How do I save and recall different print settings for the Periodic Financial Report? Are you or your church board confused about the periodic financial report? Click here for a thorough explanation of each section of the report. My board is overwhelmed with the monthly report. Is there any way to simplify the report? My periodic financial report is showing incorrect numbers. How do I find the problem? I have setup a fund in Contributions and a corresponding Internal Account. But when I go to the financial report, my deposit is showing the income in a different internal account. How do I correct this situation? Why do I have a positive amount in the paid out column on the periodic financial report? Why is the amount on an expense account line being added to the budget? I have setup a budget for Federal and/or State taxes. Why after writing payroll checks is my report adding the taxes to the budget instead of subtracting? We have money left over from last year, that will be spent this year in addition to the money we will raise this year. Once all the money is spent, our report will show that we went over budget. How should I handle this? Why is my periodic financial report showing a negative amount on an expense account line? My Periodic Financial Report is showing more contributions than income or more income than contributions. The amount is approximately equal to one Sunday's offering. What could be causing the discrepancy?
