Good point. I select all the expenses and filter out zero balances - that cuts it down a bit in the first instance. I suppose it is really down to discipline to make sure you check all the accounts are selected. It is a simple act to unselect then select all again and to save the report.
In my previous job I made check lists to ensure I didn't forget to perform some function for whatever was being processed, be it payroll, HR, accounts, IT or man management. They are invaluable for complex processes; I provided them for my staff too, though getting them to use them was another matter.
