Messy Accounts!!

Hi,

Im in need of some help please.

I have recently joined a small company as the finance officer, I am solely resonsible for the book in sage 50 and they are in a bit of a mess from the previous employee.

Basically the current account bank in Sage is around £10k more than our actual bank balance, the deposit account is correct as I would expect. I have gone through the last 2 years bank statements to reconcile them and have found no major ommisions - only a few minor amounts.

My worry now is that I will have to go right to the beginning of our Sage records to search for the ammounts which have not been accounted for.

I am really looking for advice or alternatives to doing this asit will be a very lenghty process which I really do not have the time for.

Any advice is very much appreciated.

Yours hopefully,

Peter

You could take a view on it, make an adjustment bank transaction backdated to a prior year and "write it off" however, if it is substantial, I think you will probably have to go back and find it.
