This isn't going to be within the realm of GC, but as a UK finance director
here is how I would do it.
- Give 'account codes' to all of your balance sheet accounts (you'll see
this in Edit Account, it isn't used by default)
- Update the Account Summary report to display account codes
- Copy/paste

Not certain if all of that still applies, but since it was focused on

the wiki is even better!)

You can certainly create 'Other Liabilities' or 'Provisional

I'm familiar with those distinctions but it gets more complicated than
that. In this particular case, my account is local (the machine is
standalone and not part of a domain) yet some software still uses

As always with GnuCash the priority accorded to an item is a weighted decision
based on the need and the availability of developer time against other
priorities. The principal weighting is the availability of someone in the

There are numerous bits in Windows that deal with giving domain

The answer really is embedded in what format Portfolio Performance needs for
its input. I didn't see anything leap out at me in their website about that in
my brief scan. Most likely, you'd use a gnucash report to output data to a
spreadsheet and import to PP from there.
