In my mind that is where a statement group is very nice. Have a group that has a departmental summary with details for each department attached. This can be printed to pdf so if the user doesn't want to see the detail, no paper has been wasted. My clients' accounts are not consistent from one department to another so having a single page report that shows detail by account is simply not possible.
