Data damage and file repair
When you open Reports, then Company & Financial, in QuickBooks Desktop, this is the snapshot of assets, liabilities, and equity for a single date. Each account shows its balance, with totals at the bottom of each section. Those totals must agree: total assets equal total liabilities plus equity. If they do not, note whether the gap appears in cash basis, accrual basis, or both; that difference points to the cause inside the file.
