When balancing your accounts at the end of a month/period or year there are a few different checks that should be made.
Check the aged creditors report back against the trial balance report or profit & loss/balance sheet report, check that the nominal balance for Creditors Control balances back to the report figure.
Check the aged debtor reports balance back to the Debtors Control nominal balance on the trial balance report. Which shows the outstanding bills value separated down from the disbursements. Also check back the Disbursements Unbilled and Disbursements Unpaid on the trial balance balances back with the disbursements on the matter listing report.
Run the Control Inspect Balance report if the above reports don't balance back this will advise you of the matters that have a difference and what is the potential issue. The postings or allocations will need to be done to correct these matters/nominals.
Run the matter balance reports to check the client balance against the client bank nominal on the trial balance report, then check that the bank reconciliation statement value after taking away all un-presented transactions balances back to the same figure. This is the three way check that needs doing for any client bank reconciliations.
For the office bank reconciliation you can just check the trial balance report against the value after un-presented transactions is the same as the office bank nominal, this should be done for all bank accounts.
If the balances from the Control Inspect Balance report can't be fixed via normal postings and require help, please raise a new case online and reference the title of this article.
