Reports that Reconcile to the Client Accounting Ledger
You can reconcile most items on the Client Accounting Ledger to other reports. The first column of the following table lists figures on the Client Ledger. The second column provides the report where you can find a number to reconcile to the figure in the first column, and the third column tells you what figure reconciles to the Client Ledger. The last column includes any special conditions that apply to the numbers you reconcile from the first and third columns. Always run both reports with identical dates and parameters.
