+# Accountants sometimes ask for a report called the "cash receipts and
+# disbursements journals". From a programmer's perspective, these are two
+# reports that have the following properties:
+#
+# * Receipts: "a list of all transactions in the period where funds
+# enter a cash account (i.e., the amount reconciled
+# against the cash account is > 0"
+#
+# * Disbursements: "a list of all transactions in the period where
+# funds leave a cash account (i.e., the amount
+# reconciled against the cash account is < 0)
