# Fund Accounting

***This doc set is under construction.***

LUSID can strike a NAV and produce other 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](/v1/docs/setting-up-a-fund-a-checklist).

Providing you have appropriate permissions, you can interact with financial reports using the [LUSID web app](https://www.lusid.com/app/):

Alternatively, you can interact programmatically:

- Using the [API endpoints](https://www.lusid.com/docs/api/lusid/intro) in the `Funds`, `FundConfiguration` and `Chart of Accounts` collections.
- Using equivalent methods in the [LUSID SDK](/v1/docs/understanding-all-the-applications-in-the-finbourne-platform) in various languages.
- If you have a Luminesce license, using [a set of providers](/v1/docs/using-luminesce-to-readwrite-lusid-investment-data#financial-reportsfund-accounting).
