Do Not Balance Warnings

[JohnDMeyers]

I would start fresh as of Jan. 1, 2012.

Get your 2011 year-end balances, and hit the RESET ACCOUNTING button.

I did this at the end of 2009, and again at the end of 2010. Just make a backup of everything before hitting the RESET button. I restructured my COA at the beginning of 2010, and corrected my mistakes at the beginning of 2011.

You will be looking at one week's worth of work, instead of one year.

Thanks!
So I should use my accounting fund balances sheet to determine YE 2011 balances? That's what we reported to the congregation in the annual report, so I think that's where I should begin. However, those balances are different from the trial balance, which is different from the balance sheet... etc etc etc... I'm scared!!!

I would use your actual bank account balances as of 12/31/11.

Be sure to take the opportunity to make improvements in your chart of accounts!
