The Balance Change Report displays the amount balance of each GL account at the end of a period and the amount change in the GL account's balance between the specified periods within a fiscal year. The report shows the beginning and ending balances of an account per period, and calculates the amount change between the two periods.

This report has the following uses:

•To aid in verifying the movement of recorded GL Account ID balances with the actual business transactions.

•To help in understanding the overall operations of the company by investigating the reasons for the GL account balance changes.
