Balance Sheet is out of Balance

Question

Hi there,

My balance sheet for 22/23 is out of balalce.

Net Assets doesn't equal the Total Equity.

I realised a retained earning brought forward by Myob is out and is creating a variance.

Never had this problem before. Is it something MYOB can fix in the background?

Thanks

HI Chris,

Thanks for your response. I have tried the steps you've given, it didn't work.

The Balance sheet is correct till 30/06/2022, however after rollover to FY22, it is out of balace due to wrong retaining figures carried forward, and I can't change the figures as it is automatically generated by MYOB.

Thank you

NIjina

Hello @nijina

Welcome to the Community Forum.

If the Total Equity - Net Assets = Historical Balancing we can refresh the Historical balancing account to fix the out-of-balance.

Can you please do the following steps:

* Backup your company file
* Go to the Setup Menu > Balances > Account Opening Balances
* Select an account with a $0 opening balance (note this account)
* Enter a $1 opening balance for this account and click ok
* Go back to Setup Menu > Balances > Account Opening Balances and remove the $1 balance to make it $0
* Click Ok
* Run your balance sheet again and it should now balance.

Please let me know if there are any further issues.
