Hi LC500
Thanks for your post. If you haven't already I'd recommend sitting down with your accountant to go over all of your issues. I was a bookkeeper for 20 years and worked with enough accountants to know they have different ways of working. Some like the clients file to match their copy of the file so will provide EOFY adjustment journals to be entered into the clients file and any BAS adjustments that need to be reported. While for others the clients file is for data entry purposes only and the actual tax/BAS/payroll adjustments are done in their copy of the file.
I'd check for EOFY journals by going to Transaction Journal>>General tab and looking for GJ transactions posted at the end of financial year, usually dated the 30 June. This will give you some indication of how your accountant works.
Another reason to discuss this with your accountant is that any BAS adjustments in previous years will also impact the company tax returns.
Without detailed information it's hard to give you help with your list of issues. For example, the GST collected and paid are out of balance, I'd need to know how you're reconciling those accounts and where you're seeing the out of balance.
I can tell you how I used to reconcile my PAYG and deductions accounts. Run the General Ledger detail report and filter by those liability accounts, run the Liabilities Payment Register and check off the payments made against the payroll transactions recorded.
This will depend on how the PAYG and deduction payments were recorded in the software though. If they were recorded incorrectly the software may be wrong but the payment was correct. To check if the PAYG payments were correct I'd reconcile the BAS with the AccountRight reports. Hopefully you've got hard copies or can get hard copies of the actual BAS lodgements, run the Payroll Activity and Register reports for that period and check the PAYG amounts against the BAS amounts.
Run the Company Data Auditor to check for transactions causing out of balance issues. This help article, Receivables, payables or inventory out of balance, has detailed information to work out why your receivables is out of balance.
Please let me know how you get on with this.
