I NEED THE BALANCE TO BE THE SAME AS BANK STATEMENT ON 1 NOVEMBER WHEN IT IS SHOWING LESS O SAGE HOW DO I CHANGE IT I HAVE TRIED AN OPENING BALANCE BUT IT JUST ADDS UP WITH WHAT IS ALREADY SHOWING IN THE ACCOUNT

HELP PLEASE

Well, you need to reconcille every transaction prior to Nov1 apart from any transactions that clear the (real) bank after Nov1.

Then make a dummy transaction either payment or receipt to adjust the bank account opening balance to match the statement balance.

This amount should go into a separate suspense account, as you may be able to reconcile some of it later if you find errors.
