I have a difference of $245 on a trial balance (ie my Liab+Equity is $245 different than total assets).

I’ve narrowed down the date this occured to a one month time frame.

It probably has something to do with a new G/L account being added that has the report section (ie if you edit the GL account there is a choice of where on the income stmt, bal sheet, or cash flow to put the account).

I’ve tried to search G/L for any that are blank but cannot find the name of them.

Short of editing each and every account does anyone know a quick way to find any that are blank?

RE: Is there an easy way to find GL accounts with no report section

Hi Chris,

Are you talking about the trial balance or the balance sheet?

I’ve tried to do a similiar search in the past, to no avail.

But to ensure all accounts are mapped to the income statement and balance sheet, you can do the following:

1. Print the Trial Balance (Reports>Financial>Trial Balance)

2. Print the Balance Sheet (Reprots>Financial>Balance Sheet)

3. Print the Income Statement (Reports>Financial>Income Statement)

4. Cross Reference the Trial Balance Accounts to the other statements.

If there are any TB accounts not on the BS or IS, you have isolated the problem.

Note: Make sure you are printing the statements for the same date – I strongly suggest a date in the future, such as the end of this fiscal year.

Done and fixed. Thanks Paul!
