Fund Accounting

This doc set is under construction.

LUSID can produce financial reports in accordance with the double-entry system for all the economic activity in one or more transaction portfolios between two points in time.

To get started, you must set up a fund for these portfolios. See how to do this.

Providing you have appropriate permissions, you can interact with financial reports using the LUSID web app:

• Using the API endpoints in the Funds, FundConfiguration and Chart of Accounts collections.

• Using equivalent methods in the LUSID SDK in various languages.

• If you have a Luminesce license, using a set of providers.
