Double underline (Accounting)

Bonjour, I use Pages for most of students documentation and exams in accounting (Certified General Accountant).
In my exercise, I often have Financial statements and I can't find and easy way to format cells underlined with a double line like. One line is easy, yet a double line is long to format since I have to draw a line and place it right under an underlined cell.

Is there an easy way to underline a spreadsheet cell in Pages with a double line?
Thanks

What you suggest does the job, but partly.

In a table, I need to put a double underline under the last lines (which happened to be a cell) on balance sheet and results statement.
Accounting conventions uses double lines under cells containing: Total assets, net profits or loss, etc.

Is there an easy way to format according to accounting conventions or norms?
Thanks

In the font it does work, yet it underline only the numbers, not the cell.

I need a double underline of a cell in a table.

I've done it,
1) using cell border in Inspector/Table and after,
2) I create a line in the shape menu and place that line right under the cell line.
#) I grouped both items, table + line and make it move with the text.
Yet, it's not very practical.
