This approach $ill ensure that the calculations that are included in the financial statements are al$as accurate and negate the need to go through the entire cumbersome (manual) calculation e(ercise! The problem $ith rounding in financial statement terms is that a trial balance tpicall includes t$o decimal values $hile financial statements are tpicall compiled to the nearest integer value! *hen t$o amounts that contain decimal values are rounded and added' the result is not necessaril the same as the rounded value of the total but if the decimal values are rounded to the nearest integer value and then added' the total that is calculated is guaranteed to be accurate! This approach is follo$ed in the calculations in column E on the T8Import sheet in that the trial balance amounts in column 6 are rounded to the nearest integer value in column E! If ou therefore use the T8Import sheet to round all the amounts on the trial balance to the nearest integer values before correcting an rounding differences that ma e(ist and coping & pasting the values onto the T8 sheet' our financial statements are guaranteed to be accurate! *e therefore recommend al$as using the T8Import sheet before including the appropriate trial balance amounts for a ne$ financial period on the T8 sheet! The FinInfo sheet contains the financial information that needs to be included in our standard financial statements but can tpicall not be derived from the amounts on a trail balance! These values therefore need to be entered for each financial period that is included in the financial statements and for $hich a trial balance is therefore included on the T8 sheet! In terms of ne$ and e(isting businesses and the addition of ne$ columns' the same procedure that needs to be follo$ed in order to add ne$ columns to the T8 sheet needs to be completed for the FinInfo sheet! Refer to the Trial 8alance section of the instructions for guidance on ho$ to amend the default columns and ho$ to add ne$ columns to this sheet!

If this is the case( it probably means that an amount has been allocated to the retained earnings account that should not ha$e been.
