Financial Reports

SikaBooks generates accounting and compliance reports from posted data.

Where to find it: Sidebar > Reports

Core financial statements support PDF and Excel export. Some tax and audit outputs provide PDF or CSV export. Aging and FX screens should be treated as on-screen analysis views unless an export button is shown on that page.

12.1 General Ledger

Shows transactions for a selected account over a date range. Supports PDF and Excel export.

12.2 Trial Balance

Shows debit and credit balances as of a selected date. Supports PDF and Excel export.

12.3 Balance Sheet

Shows assets, liabilities, and equity at a point in time. Supports PDF and Excel export.

Accumulated depreciation and net carrying amount

Accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization are contra-asset balances. The Statement of Financial Position shows them as deductions, normally with a Less: label and parentheses, and includes their signed value in the asset subtotal:

Asset cost - accumulated depreciation = net carrying amount

For example, a GHS 300,000 vehicle cost and GHS 5,000 accumulated depreciation produce a GHS 295,000 net carrying amount, not GHS 305,000. The same presentation applies to vehicles, equipment, furniture, computers, buildings, and other fixed-asset classes with a mapped contra account.

This reporting treatment does not change the depreciation journal. The posting remains a debit to depreciation expense and a credit to accumulated depreciation. If the report adds a contra balance instead of deducting it, review the account's contra classification and the source journal before making any correction.
