General ledger

Hello. Everytime i have problems with QB, i always go to this community. I just want to know how do you look for any inaccurate transaction in your general ledger. I will send a general ledger and i want it to show the accurate data. What recommendation can you give? And if ever we don't match the transaction to it's pair will it create a duplicate? Please help. Thank youu

General ledger

It's great to hear that you've found Community helpful for your QuickBooks issues, Zala98-0. I'll discuss how you can identify any incorrect data in the General Ledger to maintain the accuracy of your financial data.

 

The General Ledger report provides a comprehensive overview of all financial accounts within your company, detailing the beginning balance, transactions, and the total for each account listed in your chart of accounts. With this, you'll have to individually review each transaction associated with every account to determine any inaccurate entries.

 

After doing so, you can go ahead and export the said report and send it to your accountant for assistance in evaluating your financial records.

 

On the other hand, if you don't match your downloaded transactions with your existing entries, it'll record duplicates in your account. QuickBooks will also recommend matches, and you just need to approve them or add them as new transactions. For more details about this, please see this article: Match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, I encourage you to reconcile your accounts regularly (monthly). Doing so will let you track your finances and manage them accordingly.
