Executive Summary
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The **Executive Summary** allows for a quick look at all the important
|
|
figures you need to run your company.
|
|
|
|
In very basic terms, this is what each of the items in this section is
|
|
reporting :
|
|
|
|
- **Performance:**
|
|
- **Gross profit margin:**
|
|
The contribution each individual sale made
|
|
by your business less any direct costs needed to make those sales
|
|
(things like labour, materials, etc).
|
|
- **Net profit margin:**
|
|
The contribution each individual sale made by
|
|
your business less any direct costs needed to make those sales,
|
|
as well as any fixed overheads your company has (things like
|
|
rent, electricity, taxes you need to pay as a result of those
|
|
sales).
|
|
- **Return on investment (p.a.):**
|
|
The ratio of net profit made, to the
|
|
amount of assets the company used to make those profits.
|
|
- **Position:**
|
|
- **Average debtor days:**
|
|
The average number of days it takes your
|
|
customers to pay you (fully), across all your customer invoices.
|
|
- **Average creditor days:**
|
|
The average number of days it takes you to
|
|
pay your suppliers (fully) across all your bills.
|
|
- **Short term cash forecast:**
|
|
How much cash is expected in or out of
|
|
your organisation in the next month i.e. balance of your **Sales
|
|
account** for the month less the balance of your **Purchases account**
|
|
for the month.
|
|
- **Current assets to liabilities:**
|
|
Also referred to as **current ratio**, this is the ratio
|
|
of current assets (assets that could be
|
|
turned into cash within a year) to the current liabilities
|
|
(liabilities which will be due in the next year). This is
|
|
typically used as as a measure of a company's ability to service
|
|
its debt.

General Ledger
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The **General Ledger Report** shows all transactions from all accounts for a
|
|
chosen date range. The initial summary report shows the totals for each
|
|
account and from there you can view a detailed transaction report or any
|
|
exceptions. This report is useful for checking every transaction that
|
|
occurred during a certain period of time.
