Balance Sheet showing a balance for a beneficiary where the balance in Accounts is zero
This support note applies to:
- AE Reporter (AU)
In MYOB Accountants Enterprise Reporter with Accounts, the Trust Balance Sheet can show a balance for a beneficiary account despite the balance of the account being zero.
This can occur when the account balance is extinguished during the current financial year.
To resolve this issue you need to customise the Reporter Chart Map to exclude the effected account. This corrects the presentation of the current year values, however it can also result in the previous year showing out of balance. If this is the case, you need to export the report to Word and edit as required. Once you roll over to the next year, the values are correct for both years.
MYOB is investigating this issue.
