Hi Adrien, Thanks for your very detailed explanation... I appreciate that we enter each transaction using the double entry system into the accounts.. This is almost the same as manual accounting. The problem arises when the auditors do not use Gnucash. In the manual system, the auditors will be

I added gnucash-user to the cc to distribute this to wider audience. I believe that if you export to pdf, then some pdf readers do split between lines. I think Firefox is one that works ok, but it has been a while since I tried it. David Carlson On Tue, Mar 17, 2020, 5:48 PM Alan Auerbach

Note, *all* transactions are ’split’ between at least two accounts. That is the nature of double-entry. You may have more than two splits however depending on the transaction. The Help and Tutorial and Concepts Guides are a good place to start. I wouldn’t attempt any further use of GnuCash

I think I understand now what you are asking. TLDR; your GnuCash file **is** the General Ledger. GnuCash **is not** QuickBooks. QuickBooks has a separate view of the General Ledger because they otherwise hide it from you. QuickBooks in particular, hides the double-entry nature of accounting
