## Overview

This section holds three pages on finance functionality specific to the New Zealand version of Business Central. It has no subtopics, so all the content sits on these pages.

Two pages deal with statutory reporting. One covers printing balance sheet reports. The other covers printing income statements, which show revenues and expenses for the current and prior years. A third page covers calculating distribution amounts. Its summary gives no detail beyond the topic.

Start with the balance sheet or income statement page if you need to produce reports for financial reporting. Open the distribution amounts page for that calculation. The summaries are brief, so check each page for the steps.

## Key points

- Applies only to the New Zealand version of Business Central.
- Balance sheet reports can be printed as statutory reports required for financial reporting.
- The income statement report shows revenues and expenses for current and prior years.
- Income statement options include Amounts in whole and Show Amounts in Add. Reporting Currency.
- A separate page covers calculating distribution amounts for NZ.
- The section has three pages and no subtopics.
