Buy nowHi,
My company is having an insurance audit and they requested a "not detailed general ledger report". Is there any way to summarize a general ledger in QB desktop? or would that just be a Balance sheet summary report?
Thank you!
Welcome to the Community, EDT2!
In QuickBooks Desktop, the General Ledger report offers a comprehensive summary of all general ledger accounts, including their balances and activity.
Here's how you can generate a summary of the general ledger in QuickBooks Desktop:
QuickBooks generates a General Ledger report, providing a tabular summary of all accounts, including activity and balances for a specified period.
The General Ledger report, by default, displays all accounts and fiscal year activity, but can be customized to meet specific requirements. Here's how to customize the report:
Furthermore, after customizing the report, QuickBooks will display the summary of all general ledger accounts based on your specified criteria.
The General Ledger report may not align with your previously mentioned detailed report. Export the report to Excel for a summarized version focusing on account balances.

A balance sheet won't work. It doesn't contain income and expense accounts that are part of your general ledger. I'm guessing the auditor wants to see a cleaned-up version of the General Ledger report (Reports > Accounting & Taxes > General Ledger). You can clean up the report by removing the 'Split' account (the offsetting credit to the debit and debit to the credit). Click 'Customize Report' and under 'Columns' remove the check mark by 'Split' and any other columns you want removed from the default report.
