    Hi campaignr 

     

    Sorry to see that no one has replied to you yet. If you go to Accounting>>Chart of accounts>>open that account, is there an Opening balance?

     

    If you're still having problems with this can you please send me screenshots in a private message.

    Hello Tracey_H and thank you for your reply. 

    Yes, the opening balance for the account was $0 but the MYOB calculated current balance showed that negative value coming through into the calculated closing balance. I've no idea why that was occurring.

    Nevertheless, I've fixed the problem by just resetting and redoing the books for this entity in their entirety. There were fewer than 500 transactions, so it didn't take too long (and it was quicker than waiting for a solution from the community).

    All accounts are now accurately reconciled and the calculated closing balances appear to be calculating correctly.
