In balance sheet: Asset value is not getting equal to Liability + Equity values

Hi there vishvajeet,

Thank you for sharing this information with us. Let me share some information about why the Balance Sheet is out of Balance.

A Balance Sheet report, also known as a statement of financial position, provides a snapshot of your business’s financial standing at a particular point in time. It allows you to evaluate your business's financial health and performance by showing the value of assets, the combined value of liabilities and equity, and the relationship between them. The formula used to calculate this is Assets - Liabilities = Equity.

If your balance sheet is unbalanced, you can troubleshoot it by following these steps:

1. First, check the conversion ratio to ensure it is correct, especially if you are using multicurrency.
2. Review each account on the report to see the transactions associated with the balance of each account.
3. Run the report for the year-to-date (YTD) period and gradually narrow down the date range each month until you pinpoint the specific day when the balance sheet becomes unbalanced.
4. Check the transactions during that narrowed date range to find the specific transaction causing the imbalance.
5. Take the necessary steps to fix the issue and bring the balance sheet back into balance.

Keep in mind that before generating balance sheet reports, it may be beneficial to seek advice from a professional bookkeeper or accountant to ensure the correct procedures are being followed.

Hello Eman_E,

Glad to know my troble shooting method and your suggestion matches (smile) .

However below is my finding, In quick book the ration has only the 7 digits after decimal howver my convertion ration comes with more digits after decimal.

Example: 

USD Value : 210.0.
AUD Value : 332.70

Convertion ration by calculation : 1.5[removed]5714

In quick book we can feed only up to: 1.5842857

My doubt is whether this limitation is resulting the difference, as asset is getting matched with the actual bank transaction(332.70) via bill is getting matched with the equity amount (210*1.5842857 = [removed] )

Thus in this transaction a differecne if .01 is appearing.

let me know your thoughts on this please.

Thank You!

In this case, i did not find any transaction/bill paymnet with multi currency.

for these two dates, any troble shoot you wanna suggets here.

Thank you!

Hi there, vishvajeet.

I understand how you want to add more digits after decimal in QuickBooks Online. Allow me to provide insights about this.

The Currency & Exchange Rates list is updated to display the new currency with the most recent rate from AHS Markit. Hence, QuickBooks Online uses 7 digits after decimal. 

For more details about the exchange rate and how it's calculated, please see this article: Learn about exchange rates in QuickBooks Online.

I recognize the importance of adding more than seven decimal points to the exchange rate. I recommend sending feedback on adding this feature for consideration in future enhancements.
