## Overview

This section holds two pages on Canada-specific functionality. One explains GIFI codes, which classify Canadian financial information for tax reporting. The other covers printing troubleshooting reports in the Canadian version, related to finance setup and operations.

Start with the GIFI page if you need to prepare data for tax filing: it describes setting up the codes, associating them with general ledger accounts, and exporting account balance information to Excel for tax preparation software. Use the troubleshooting reports page when you need to check finance setup and operations in the Canadian version.
