I took over the accounting for a local restaurant. The balance sheet to the last fiscal year end was all I was provided by the former accountant, not the data file. I entered the beginning balances, but it turns out one of the bank accounts on the balance sheet is a personal account and does not belong on the financials at all. When I try to remove the balance, it affects the retained earnings for the prior year which I don't want.
How can I make this bank account balance go away without adversely affecting the retained earnings?
