Balance Sheet is out of Balance

Question

Hi there,&nbsp;My balance sheet for 22/23 is out of balalce.&nbsp;Net Assets doesn't equal the Total Equity.&nbsp;I realised a retained earning brought forward by Myob is out and is creating a variance.&nbsp;Never had this problem before. Is it something MYOB can fix in the background?&nbsp;ThanksNijina

Hello&nbsp;nijina&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Welcome to the Community Forum.
&nbsp;
If the&nbsp;Total Equity - Net Assets = Historical Balancing&nbsp;we can refresh the Historical balancing account to fix the out-of-balance.
&nbsp;
Can you please do the following steps:&nbsp;

Backup your company file
Go to the Setup Menu &gt; Balances &gt; 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&nbsp;Setup Menu &gt; Balances &gt; 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.

HI Chris,&nbsp;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.&nbsp;Thank youNIjina
