20 August 2009 I want to know something.
Is your last year balance Sheet audited?How did you treat the difference then?

20 August 2009 if the dif. is imaterial/small amt charge to p l a/c,otherwise Carrry Forward as suspense in balance sheet to be find out the dif. in future.

20 August 2009 Every debit has its own equal and opposite credit. - Basic logic in Accountancy....

Suggestion - Try to find out the mistake if the diff is massive. If the diff is meager of neglible, just write off if there is a debit balance in the current year P&L or show it as income, if there is a credit balance.
