Now that the tidying up of the omissions detected when the accounts were viewed to the screen is finished. The final accounts and the posting reports can be printed.
Follow the procedure laid out in Printing/previewing a set of accounts. This time, however, remove the tick against view to Screen and tick Printer to send the accounts to the printer.
Select Reports to display a drop down menu listing the reports.
The reports most users want to print for their working paper files are the Trial Balance, Nominal Ledger and possibly a Posting List. The basic procedure to obtain a posting report is the same for all report options.
Select the report to be printed. A screen asks how the report is to be output. Tick the Printer field and leave all the other fields blank if you want to print a report and select OK.
A further panel appears asking for the posting entry to be printed. The posting entry field defaults to the last posting entry used in this session. The report to be printed is for the posting entry for 2007. If this is not the posting entry selected use the magnifying glass 
next to the posting entry field to list the posting entries and select the correct entry from the list.
Leave the Management Report field unticked.
The date fields should be left blank to ensure that the report encompasses all the postings made in the posting entry file.
Once the general questions have been answered, answers to questions specific to the report you require appear. For example for the trial balance you are asked which accounts you want the report to include. To include all accounts leave both the fields blank and select OK. The report will be produced.
Please note that the reports only list the accounts which have been used during the year.
