Account management

Thanks for joining this thread, @omp-hoa.

The opening balance equity may show on the register for the following reasons:

• Manually entered.
• The amount was added in the Balance field upon the account setup.

Let's run the Audit Log Report to check who created the account. This is a built-in tool that can help see the history of changes made to transactions and who added them.

I have a few easy steps to open it:

1. Go to the Gear icon at the top of your company to choose the Audit Log.
2. Click on the drop-down for Filter to sort the data.
3. In the Events section, make sure to select the Show All Events option.
4. Click on Apply.
5. Hit the View link to check who modified the entries.
   

If you want to remove the opening balance equity, you can delete it in your account. Here's how:

1. On the left panel of your company, tap the Accounting menu to choose Chart of Accounts.
   
2. From the list, select the correct bank and click the View register to see the opening balance equity.
   
3. Click on the amount of the account in question to select the Edit button.
   
4. Hit the Yes option to proceed.

As always, I recommend consulting with an accountant. This is to ensure your records are tiptop shape.
