Hi Stephen,
I agree with your wife about not including the Income Statement inside a
Balance Sheet. These serve different functions and it just makes a Balance
Sheet more complicated than necessary. From an accounting perspective you
should be able to evaluate a balance sheet fairly quickly and
John,
I agree with you that making the accounts with child accounts have no
transactions is being unnecessarily restrictive and may not meet all
possible use cases but perhaps having the option of being able to restrict
it to that case if it suits an individual's purpose is a suitable
compromise.

I have no idea what the intent of that status is. Looks like yet another
variant of this though.

Hi David
It'd seem the Frozen status relates to transaction status
(Unreconciled/Cleared/Reconciled/Void/Frozen) only, and is so far unused.
I'm going to amend the balsheet-pnl to the desired format.

Is the 'frozen' status which is already in place but seemingly unused

It's nice to have input from someone in the know.
I have used the placeholder flag to tag accounts which are now closed,

Stephen,
There is no need to install the libofx7specifically. If you install
libofx-dev that should install the the appropriate version of the library
for your ubuntu version (i.e. libofx4 on 14.04(Trusty), libofx6 on 16.04
(Xenial) and libofx7 on 18.04 (Bionic)

Stephen,
You can possibly force the case of sum of the children account totals being
the parent account total by making the parent a placeholder account. Then
it cannot have any transactions into it, only the child accounts.

The accountant is real uncomfortable with removing the cash account.
She feels that the children should add up to the total for the parent.
Given that GnuCash allows a parent to also have funds/transactions in
addition to the children, I guess the work around would be to treat
those as the

Hi Stephen
Thank you this is useful.
Confirms my suspicions that unrealized gains shouldn't appear in balsheet.
From your illustrations below, the only addition I'd offer is there
wouldn't be a separate 142 Broker:Cash account, it'd be "140 Broker

Going to the latest version is stymied until I hear back from one of the
developers on what went wrong with make.
I'm new to using GnuCash so have not delved into the Foreign currency or
stocks.
So, let's build a COA together and see what happens (on paper):

Hi Stephen
One of the most unique features of gnucash is the multilevel account
hierarchy, meaning both parent accounts and child accounts can carry
balances.
Would you mind liaising with the house accountant to ask about the
following COA and the resulting balance sheet
Asset (bal=$0.00)
Yes, it is the alignment of numbers that is the problem.
