Exception Reports – Variance Analysis

There are several different ways to compare current activity to historical results.  The benefit is an easy way to see where, specifically, the business is producing better results and where the business is not.  QuickBooks makes the comparison process relatively easy by providing an alternative to compare the current period to the previous period (for example, last month to the month before) or the current period to the same period the previous year (for example, December 2004 as compared to December 2003).  It is possible to see the difference as a dollar amount change, or as a percentage.
