Balance Sheet is out of Balance

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....

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: 

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

Please let me know if there are any further issues.

    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
