The IAS Solution 
Balance Analyzer produces the following reports from the data generated within it, or transferred to it:
· Balance sheet
· Profit and loss statement
· Notes to the report and accounts
The data used by Balance Analyzer also provides the basis for another Bank Analyzer component, the Financial Database. The Financial Database is used to store data from front-office systems. Bank Analyzer uses the data stored in the Financial Database (FDB) to generate various results, which can then be extracted to BW, where they are used for reporting purposes.
The reports in Balance Analyzer are geared towards regulatory requirements and the sector's usual reporting methods. Hence they meet classic reporting requirements, and do not contain navigation functions or functions for OLAP analysis.
Since customers set up the reports themselves, this Content Release focuses on the functions for defining reports in Balance Analyzer. This has the aim of supporting implementation projects.
The following functions are available:
· Queries with the respective two structures
· A variable for providing key figures that are period-based
· Period-based comparison of calculated key figures
· Filtering by typical characteristics, both with and without variables
