Hi Refeesh,

Are you saying that your ending balance of last year doesn't match the beginning balance of this year?

Kind regards,

Once you have found the problem, you can open the year, and simply make an additional closing entry directly to retained earnings.

RE: Prior year adjustment entry

I would mostly think of incorrect posting setup for certain GL accounts ( Balance Sheet, Income Statement ) this would usually result with incorrect retained earning balance.

For instance, If an account is set up as a balance sheet account instead of an income statement account, the amount that is posted to retained earnings at the end year closing will be incorrect.
