In the Summary tab, click on the account balance and see if that creates the details required.  
If yes, either export to a spreadsheet o if using windows os, then right click and select print.

Also look under Reports tab at the Fixed Assets Summary. Define one for the accounting year and you should have what your accountant needs. If this information isn’t enough, what exactly does your accountant want to see?

ok cheers  
he looks at the specific items for the tax period and checks if they are ok i guess  
my last accounting package could export all the items in that period- but they went subscription based and im not interested in that  
i will export it out as Bruscanna suggested from the general ledger

thanks

But the Fixed Asset Summary gives you all actions during the defined period asset by asset. For example:

 ![50%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/2X/c/c98db63814b2379e467d95351a1591526fe75c3c.png)

(Ignore the bizarre numbers. This example is from a test company with strange transactions. The point is that you see the result of purchases, add-ons, depreciation, disposals, etc.)
