How to track difference between Balance Sheet figure for Accounts Payable and Accounts Payable ageing report for the same period?

Hello there, Isaac.

 

Thank you for posting your query about Balance Sheet differences on other reports. Rest assured, I'm here to assist you in handling situations like this.

 

The figures for Accounts Payable (A/P) in the Balance Sheet and the A/P Aging report match up for the same period if you're using the Accrual basis accounting method.

 

Your Balance Sheet report may not match your other reports, even if they have the same period. This happens because:

 

  • Your Balance Sheet report is a cumulative report that carries a beginning balance.
  • In other reports, the date range you choose only applies to net income and the specific account you select within the report.
  • You're using Cash basis accounting method when comparing the Balance Sheet and Accounts Payable Ageing report.

 

If you're seeing an incorrect balance in your Balance Sheet report, you'll need to troubleshoot the report. You can check out these articles for your future guide:
