Trust Listing by Bank Report

The Trust Listing by Bank Report screen is divided into two sections; System Parameters and User Parameters. In the System Parameters section, the user must specify details for the format of the report; in the User Parameters section, the user must specify details pertaining to the content of the report. For general information on running reports and on defining System Parameters, please refer to the Running Reports help document.

Report Description

The Trust Listing by Bank Report is produced for a user specified Office, range of Departments within the selected Office(s), range of Bank Accounts, and specified Accounting Date. For each Office/Department within the specified range, the following information will be displayed: Bank Account Number and Name, Client Number and Name, Matter Number and Name, and the amount of Trust the current Client has in the current Bank Account. Totals are provided per Department, per Office, per Bank Account (i.e. the amount of Trust in each Account for all Clients), and for the report as a whole.

The report output can be generated into an Excel spreadsheet file, or in the same manner as most other reports (i.e. format selected in the System Parameters section). When generating an Excel file, the user must specify the full path and file name (i.e. c:\My Documents\Trust Listing by Bank.xls). Keep in mind that this report can be generated in the manner selected in the System Parameters section AND generated to an Excel file at the same time; there is no need to run the report twice if the user wishes to have Excel output in addition to output in another format.
