Hmmm, yes - that could add a few quid....

You may have grouped things together that do not go together like motor repairs and general repairs. Also was there a lot of movement of fixed assets on the balance sheet beings you had just set up.

It also depends on how clear the spreadsheet was to someone else (we all know that what is sometimes clear to the author isn't alwaysto someone else).

As someone who has the job of sorting these out, what may look like immaculately kept books can be a nightmare. Sometimes its easier to sort out clients who dump their reciepts and invoices on my desk in a carrier bag. I spend hours un analysing wrongly grouped figures.

Agree with vix2000

An excel spreadsheet could be nothing more than a list of transactions going through a bank account ... or several bank accounts.

And that's a long way short of a cash book, with all the transactions properly analysed!

Shame we are not getting any response from the OP. It looks like Cook County's response is likely to be the reason.
