I previously asked about fixing a "wrong year end" brought forward. The Accountant told me they thought this is what happened and it seemed logical. When you suggested I do a prior year posting to fix the problem I discovered the opening balances bear no resemblance to any year and are in fact out of balance. I can do a prio year posting to give the correct opening balances, but how do I handle the "out of balance" issue.With the exception of the zero balance accounts, all the GL's have wrong starting balances. I am now trying to close the next year end. HELP!

Hello Sammy,

Are you saying that your general ledger does not pass the data integrity check?

No. I have run integrity checks and had them come back okay, no errors. When I list the opening balances of each GL however, it is out of balance by $501.87. I have the trial balance from the previos year and the accountants balances which is the balances I want to use for my opening balances. As I said previously none of them match however totalling the balances should come to zero and it does not.

Please disregard the previous transmissions. I have found a GL that was used for the year end offset and although I'm still out $.01 I'm sure that I'll find it in one of the accounts. Sorry for taking up your time. It's a problem taking over someone elses files. I should first check that what I've been told is actually correct. Thanks again.
