My supervisor has instructed me to make the necessary adjustments to complete the reconciliation. However, I have never performed this type of adjustment before, and I am unsure how to proceed. I know that one way to correct this is to undo the reconciliations and redo them from those years, but it would take me a considerable amount of time to undo reconciliations dating back to 2019.
Could you please assist me in ensuring the records are balanced so that I can finalize my reconciliation? Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? I am currently using QuickBooks Desktop 2021.
