Documents & reports

The issued document itself — letterhead, lines, VAT, and the terms it is payable on, with the double entry it raises drawn beside it.

A period stated as a report, every line reconciling to the ledger rows underneath it — this period and the one before, on one sheet.

Assets, liabilities and partners' funds as at a date, balanced — with the check drawn beside the statement, not left to the reader.

The route from accounting profit to the figure the return declares, each adjustment shown and named — and each one traceable to a row.

The page rules the rest obey — margins, repeated headers, and ink that still reads without colour, drawn over a real sheet.

Nine boxes, derived — never typed — with the sales and purchase ledgers behind boxes 1 and 4 opened beside the sheet.

Where the month's profit went: every movement from the ledger, closing on a bank figure that agrees with the bank itself.

The running account — invoices and payments across the period, with a balance column that is derived line by line.

The bundle a director reads first — cover, contents, the two statements, and the notes — bound as three numbered sheets.

The practice's whole print output in one list — grouped by type, filterable, with the trail beside every row.

The document a person actually keeps — gross to net in the order HMRC prints it, the year to date beside it, and the deductions each named.

What the supplier is sent when the run lands — the invoices this payment settles, what each one leaves owing, and the reference their bank will show.
