Oracle Financials Cloud offers several tools for analyzing and reporting on General Ledger balances. Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) provides real-time, self-service analysis through pre-built subject areas for GL balances. Smart View is a Microsoft Office add-in used for ad-hoc queries, slicing and dicing data, and creating custom reports in Excel directly from the GL balances cube. Financial Reporting Studio (FRS) is a powerful tool for creating highly formatted, statutory, and management financial statements like balance sheets and income statements. These three tools are the primary methods for accessing GL balance information.

B. Oracle Enterprise Repository is a tool for managing business process models and metadata, not for reporting on transactional financial data.

E. Application Composer is a development tool used to customize and extend the application's user interface and data model, not for financial reporting.
