Trial Balance is out of balance.

I have recently taken over the accounting function.  I noticed that the Retained Earnings at the end of 2015 does not match the opening balance for 2016.  This throws my Trial Balance out of balance.  I ran an Advanced Database check, but this didn't solve the issue.  Any suggestions?

    Trial Balance reports do not go out of balance just by using a different date or other criteria to produce the report. This is one area where Sage 50 Canadian is very good. If the TB is out of balance, check the data integrity to determine which module is the problem one and try to determine the cause. As mentioned above the data may have run into a power fluctuation while the posting was being completed. This is the most common cause but not the only cause.
