Since there is a polymorphic relation between attachment and the object it's related to, I don't think you'd be able to do it with a report. Maybe SOQL, depending on your data volume:
SELECT ID FROM Account WHERE ID NOT IN (SELECT ParentID FROM Attachment)

A more efficient, future proof method of doing it would be to mark your accounts as having or not having attachments using a trigger on the attachment object. The trigger would control a checkbox that you would use to report. 

I hope you find the above information is helpful. If it does, please mark as Best Answer to help others too.

Thanks.

i have used this query :

SELECT Id, Name,(SELECT stageName FROM Opportunities where stageName = 'Closed Won'),(SELECT Title,ParentId FROM CombinedAttachments) FROM Account  WHERE ID NOT IN (SELECT ParentId FROM CombinedAttachments )

but I keep getting this error I try to add filter using recordType = 'Account' didn't work as well
