- Firstly, ensure you select one of two options in the Reporting Period Field.

- Accounting date reflects the correct accounting period (see the Data Dictionary for the definition of those Dates).
Click on either of these buttons to choose data for the respected date:
- Use Slicers to ensure you have the correct data included for what you require. Slicers are on the top of the report (Updated in June 2022), shown here:
- If you forget which criteria you used in the slicers and want to reset back to default values with different slicer values, simply refresh your browser.
- Use the slicers BEFORE exporting a report as failing to do so could result in a memory expensive export dataset which does not provide the key information you need and can take excessive time.
- There are more options at the top of the screen for you to use, including Export, if you wanted to export to a PDF, PowerPoint or Excel format.
Slicer - Financing Type -Updated November 2022
If you want to view the TB for transactions financed through Valet Finance vs your internal pay transactions use this slicer.
Visual updated in June 2022 - Enlarged font and theme colours.
Visual shows the Revenue (represented in the visual in blue) vs Expenses (represented in the visual in red).
Revenue equals the sum of the following fields:
- Commission Income
- Policy Fee Income
- NSF Fee Income
- Interest Income
Expenses equals the sum of the following fields:
- Bad Debt
- Employee Commission
Visual summary displays the Overall Net Income (= Revenue - Expenses), like this:
Transactions show in this section.
- Accounts payable will confirm the Premium + Company fee, net of Commission + Company Fee (owed to the insurer).
- Provincial Tax payables display (where applicable).
View this section to see what has been received from Insureds, by month.
See what payments you have already made to a carrier in the black module (Account Payable Reconciliation), this will only show once the statement is marked as paid and this report is updated MONTHLY.
You could use this to check against your statements to ensure you have paid the correct amount. (what goes in the Trust account, must go out!)
This section will update if you utilize the Employee Commission feature available in the Nude platform(admin module). This section will be blank if you don't have it set up.
- JE: Commission Payable - Will display as journal entries are created when transactions relate to commission agreements (triggered based on the accounting date). Debit the Employee Commission Payable and Credit the Employee Commission Due.
- Reconciliation JE: Employee Commission - Will display the journal entries when/if the Employee Commission reconciliation is completed in the black module. Once the reconciliation is marked as Paid, this is the trigger to flow the information here (updated monthly, after month end).
Credit - Bank account
Debit - Employee Commission Due
In this example here, we can see:
- Employee Commission DUE in March is $24.10 and the corresponding journal entry has been created (an employee has been set up with commission agreements and a transaction has occurred which they will be paid for).
- Employee Commission Payable journal entry has been created to reflect the payable (an Expense).
- Reconciliation journal entry section shows no results, meaning that the reconciliation has not been completed in the black module yet.
Last section of this tab of the report displays the summary totals for the Trial Balance, like this:
