" If I understand correctly what you mean by "accruals" you mean that this report requires you to treat some liabilities differently than others. You need to be able to distinguish between them. This would not require a new "account type", just a partitioning of liabilities between "ordinary liabilities" << a place holder under liabilities; its children would be ordinary liabilities >> and "accruals" << a second place holder under liabilities; its children would be accounts that are "accruals" >>
