Hello,
I have created a cash expense for a client of mine that purchases some stuff in cash. When I go and check the Balance sheet there's a negative sign in front of the amount. I was wondering if that negative should be there? or do I need to fix it as an accountant?
Thanks
Good day, accountingatheart!
I'm here to share some details on why there's a negative amount on the Balance Sheet report.
The negative numbers showing on the cash expense item indicate there's a credit balance that your client paid more than what was expected.
You can fix this by creating a Journal Entry to credit the accounts affected and zeroed them out.
Also, to ensure that the transactions match your client's bank and credit card statements, you can reconcile the accounts. Here's an article as your guide: Reconcile accounts.
I'll be around whenever you have concerns with your client's account.
