FE Income Statement - Overview
• An income statement report is a summary of
transactions. The summary gives you the
total of all transactions in account(s) based
on the filters and date parameters selected
in the report. When you create or edit an
income statement report some columns are
automatically included in your output
however you can add additional columns
from a predetermined list of options.
• Bryn Mawr does not use Encumbrances so
ignore anything that says Encumbrance.
