GL Account out of Balance with its Corresponding Journal

The GL Account could be out of balance with a Journal for one of the following reasons:

  • A general journal entry is posted to a control account
  • An entry is back-dated to a month that is already closed
  • A check (cheque) or expense recovery is posted to a control account

NOTE:

To correct a GL account that is out of balance with its journal, refer to the Balancing the GL Reconciliation Report.
