I just started using PC10, and have entered all of my accounting data. At the end of posting everything, I checked the checkbook balance against my bank account and found a difference of 122.20. This was a check that has been taken out of my bank account - but I never accounted for it in PC leaving my PC account 122.20 over. The trouble with this is - the check was written in December of last year (and finally cleared in Feb) The problem is - Now that I have noticed this, I realized that I started PC with the wrong "starting Balance". If I add this check to PC now - my account will be short.

Is there a way to force balance an account, or adjust the opening balance to correct for my mistake?

You will need to input an accounting adjustment in PC+ to correct your beginning checking account balance for the $122.20 and then clear this adjustment on the bank recon to get the bank reconciliation back into balance. Since this is a beginning balance adjustment recommend that you post the offset to Net Unrestricted Assets (3110-000)
