Hi, I'm working on a file with an out-of-balance trial balance. After checking the transactions per year, month, week, and days, I finally found the account causing the misbalance. I checked the account balance per transaction report (see first photo) and it doesn't match the amount per trial balance (see last photo). How do I fix this?
Hello there, staffer.
