# Difference between Detailed and Summary reports

Compare detailed and summary financial reports

Elibrium provides two types of financial reports: **Detailed** and **Summary**.

Both reports include financial information for the selected period, but differ in the level of detail and report scope.

## Detailed financial statement

A Detailed report includes:

-   a full transaction list;
    
-   selected account information;
    
-   opening and closing balances;
    
-   payments, fees, refunds, transfers, and other operations.
    

Detailed reports are generated for one selected account and are useful for:

-   reconciliation;
    
-   auditing;
    
-   reviewing account activity;
    
-   transaction-level analysis.
    

The report is generated in PDF format.

**Important note:**

-   The report is based on **completed transactions only**.
    
-   **Payments with the Pending status are not included.**
    

## Summary financial statement

A Summary report contains aggregated financial figures without transaction-level details.

The report includes:

-   balances;
    
-   total payments;
    
-   top ups;
    
-   fees;
    
-   refunds;
    
-   transfers.
    

Summary reports provide a high-level overview of company finances across accounts.
