If accounting is not activated yet, the owner sees the card **Activate accounting** here instead. See [Turn on accounting](/en/kom-i-gang/slaa-paa-regnskap).

## Status at the top

At the top you see whether anything needs you:

* **Record the opening balance**: the books have no opening balance yet. Shown to the owner. See [Opening balance](/en/regnskap/inngaaende-balanse).
* **… things are waiting for you**: something could not be posted. Choose **Take a look** to go to [Needs you](/en/regnskap/automatisk-bokforing#needs-you).
* **The bank reconciliation does not add up**: the bank and the books show different figures. Choose **Open Bank**.
* **The books were changed after posting**: the check has found a change. Choose **See the details**, and see [Auditor and SAF-T](/en/regnskap/revisor-og-saf-t).
* **Your bookkeeping is up to date**: nothing is waiting. This is also where it says whether the check of the books is in order, how many entries have been checked, and which months are locked.

If something is on its way into the books, it says that the figures update by themselves.

## Key figures

| Figure | What it shows |
| - | - |
| In the bank | Money in the bank according to the books |
| Who owes you | Customer invoices that have not been paid |
| Who you owe | Supplier invoices that have not been paid |
| Profit so far this year | Income minus expenses so far this year |
| VAT owed so far | VAT you owe so far this year (shown only if the company is VAT registered) |

If a figure cannot be loaded, a dash is shown instead of 0.

## The cards below

Below the key figures, the cards sit in three columns on a computer, and stacked on mobile.

### Open items and latest activity

A short list of who owes you and who you owe, with **See all** to [Open items](/en/regnskap/apne-poster). Below it you see the most recent entries that have been posted.

### Accounting periods

The months of the year, with status and number of entries. Move between years with the arrows. This is where you close and reopen months. See [Closing periods](/en/regnskap/perioder).

### Equity (AS)

For a limited company, the share capital, retained earnings and total are shown, along with an estimate of how much you should set aside for tax. The estimate is not posted. The tax is posted at the year-end closing.

### Your money in the business (ENK)

For a sole proprietorship, it shows how much you have taken out and put in this year, and the profit so far. Here you can post withdrawals and deposits:

* **Take money out for yourself**
* **Put your own money in**

Both are posted against the bank account.

### Towards the VAT threshold

If the company is not VAT registered, Envoi shows how close you are to the threshold of kr 50 000 in turnover over twelve months. The card is shown once you have passed half of it. If you pass the threshold, you are notified and get a link to [Company and VAT](/en/regnskap/selskap-og-mva).
