The company statement is a balance forward statement showing the amount due to a company or group of companies for Agency Bill invoices within a given date range.
You can view the report in a single line or in a detailed mode to see the specifics of the balance. The balance due is compiled from invoices, cash, checks, and journals.

Balance Forward vs. Open-Item Accounting
Newton by Agency Systems can handle both balance forward and open-item accounting.
In a balance forward accounting system, all payments and invoices are applied against the total outstanding balance on the account. In balance forward accounting, you make no attempt to specifically pay the individual invoices. The payments simply reduce the total balance owed by the amount paid.
In an open-item accounting system, all payments are recorded against specific invoices. Reconcile Company Payables will only show invoices still due to the company. Reconcile Company Payables can be used to pay the trust amount, or only a portion of the total amount due, based on the receivable balance. All payments are applied directly to invoices, allowing the agency more specific reporting and control.
Access and Window Options
The Company Statement can be opened by selecting Company -> Company Statement. (The company statement is also available as one of the automatic monthly reports.)
Access to the Company Statement is controlled through the security system A/P -> Company Statement -> View setting.
- Start Date and End Date: All items prior to the start date will be represented by the starting Balance Forward amount.
