Also check the orphans and imbalance accounts for strays.

Jay,
My first thought is that sometime after you closed the books you probably
inadvertently entered additional transaction(s) dated before the closing
date. Did you make an archive backup then that you can compare to your
balances as of that date in your current data?
If there were a very limited number of transactions you might be able to
determine whether they were erroneous and could (and should) be corrected.

Good Afternoon,
I just discovered that in 2014 a number of my expense accounts were not
correctly closed (they had a balance other that ZERO)!
I have always closed my books at the end of an accounting period.
However, upon further investigation, it appears that the 2013 close book
transaction was not correctly performed.
How that happened I have no idea. Most likely I did the close book for
that year incorrectly and missed it. Is it recoverable? For instance can a
close books be run with a date of 12/31/2013?
I do not want to start over with a new set of books but I may have to do
so.
Questions that I have:
1. How did it happen?
See above
2. Has this happened to anyone else?
3. How do I correct the problem?
I can not go back and recreate 3 YEARS of data.
Ideas...
Regards,
Jay
