no and you shouldnt.  The should give you an electronic list of adjustments to be done so your TB matches theirs - this also keeps you in compliance with CRA 

From what I know of using an Accountant's copy of the file to send to your accountant and then receiving the import file of adjustments back, there is no way for the accountant to post an entry to the Sales or Payables modules so you should be ok to change a customer or vendor ledger.  I don't know if I would change the name without doing some testing but I have never worked with a client who gave the accountant an accountant's copy and received the adjusting entries back again.

We don't know if you gave the accountant the Accountant's copy of the file.  If you didn't then you will likely not be importing the adjusting entries unless the accountant knows how to create an import file with the adjustments manually.

may not be using accountants edition.  Sadly little details so its looks like we are throwing darts in the air Richard. 

Thank you very much for your reply.

Yes, I did provide our accountant with the files, and yes, they do provide the entries for me import electronically.

The change that I want to make is to one our customers information, not to the ledger.

A user does not need to use the Accountant's Edition to send the accountant an Accountant's Copy of their file.  They just need to go to File, Accountant's Copy, Create Accountant's Copy.

The accountant MUST be using the Accountant's Edition to create and then export the adjusting journal entries in a format that the originating file can then import them again.  However, they can only enter General Journal entries, and cannot use any other module to post entries.  These modules are locked.

Sorry for the possible confusion, DJiaz.  I am referring to the module like in the image below.  As you can see in the top left-hand corner it says Receivables Ledger.  In non-Accounting terms I believe it says something like Customer Records.  I rarely ever refer to anything in the program under non-accounting terms unless I know the user is using non-accounting terms and it matters that there is a name difference.  I then have to open a file, change the terms, find the text and then post, and I rarely want to go through that trouble when I don't have it memorised.
