Check the books with the Trial Balance and General Ledger

Steps

1. Open Accounting > Reports and choose Trial Balance under Ledgers.
2. Type a From date and an As of date. The report shows three blocks for every account: the Initial Balance (before your From date), the Debit and Credit movement in the period, and the End Balance.
3. Use Show to list only the Accounts with movement in the period. The other choices are Accounts with balance and All accounts.
4. Scroll to the bottom. The Total row shows total Debit and total Credit. They must be equal.
5. Open Accounting > Reports again and choose General Ledger under Ledgers. It lists every account with the number of entries it has.
6. Click an account row, such as 1100 Accounts Receivable, to open its entries. Each line shows the date, the partner, the debit, the credit and the running balance.
7. Click a document number to open the invoice, bill, payment or journal entry behind that line.
