Calculation and Validation edit
All calculations can be derived from the bank statements:
Balance = Assets - Debts
Assets = Capital + Debtors
Capital = Real estate + Investments + Savings + Bank saldi
Depts = Unpaid invoices
Assets of this year = Assets of previous year + Profit
Profit = Income - Expense
Income = Grants + Membership fees + Gifts + Outgoing invoices
Expense = Invoices + Tax + Expense claims
