Reporting: Step 1 - Core

Once you start the reporting process, Arcarius moves on to the core closing. This includes master data, the balance sheet, profit and loss statement, profit appropriation, and the notes.


Arcarius generates the notes based on your inputs and your accounting data, and includes the sections that are relevant to your business. You can delete or edit sections at any time — and add new ones if needed. To save you time, Arcarius also prepares a draft explanation for exceptional, non-recurring, or prior-period results.


In this first phase, please review the figures and make any adjustments — values update live. Keep in mind that foreign currency transactions can lead to minor rounding differences.


If you requested a cash flow statement, the oldest column you see here will not be shown in the final PDF. It is only used to validate the cash flow statement.


Please note that profit appropriation and the notes can only be generated for up to three periods.



For those who are still getting started


Please make sure that:

  • The balance sheet is balanced — both in general and again after you finish all adjustments.
  • The profit and loss statement is consistent with the balance sheet — both in general and again after you finish all adjustments (e.g., the same net result).
  • The annual profit shown under profit appropriation matches the figures in the balance sheet and the profit and loss statement. Also reconcile the remaining items — such as dividends and profit carried forward — with the balance sheet. Under “Add position”, you can include relevant allocations of retained earnings.
