How can I show transactions going from GF to Savings in the in and out report?

Good Morning, I'll start by saying this program was set up over 10 years ago and I have just been following through it. We had a board member who decided to look at our in and out then compare it to what was actually in the bank and declared that we were missing expenses (the money is not showing in power church. I balance the bank account every month, usually takes me hours to do because I am not given receipts until later dates. so I know that all the expenses are accounted for. the only thing I could figure out is that we move a certain amount to savings and building fund both of which are set up n the program. I tried to explain that the program doesn't show it as an expense because technically it stays in as assets, and won't show up as the income and expense report (which is what they are basing their numbers off of.) The only option I came up with was to put them as an vendor but then I wouldn't know how to keep track of the money in the savings/building accounts. Is there a magic button I can do to add those accounts to the income and expense reports? Is there a better way of setting this up in order to make this work. The board member really just wants to scrap the whole thing and start fresh. Crystal S

There should be transactions that show the movement between the two asset accounts.

There is no 'magic button' because you're moving existing money between those assets. Its not NEW income, nor is it an expense as you're not spending money. The 'board' member evidently does not understand that.

How is the move of the money done?
