Debits and credits

View detailed transaction entries for reconciliation and auditing.

The debits and credits report shows every debit and credit entry in your accounting system. Use it to reconcile your general ledger, audit transaction accuracy, and verify that your books balance.

This report helps with:

  • Month-end and year-end reconciliation
  • Auditing transaction details before closing an accounting period
  • Investigating discrepancies in your trial balance or financial statements
  • Reviewing adjustments made to historical periods

Filter entries

You can filter entries to separate routine transactions from historical adjustments, audit corrections for compliance, and generate reports tailored to specific workflows.

To filter for specific transaction types in the report:

  1. Open the debits and credits report.
  2. Use the Entries filter to select a transaction type:
    • All (default): Shows all transaction entries
    • Corrections: Shows only adjustments made to closed accounting periods

Review corrections

Corrections are adjustments made to ledger entries in closed accounting periods. They appear in the current period but reference the original transaction period.

Corrections are created when you:

  • Import past transactions through data import
  • Change chart of accounts mappings or revenue rules
  • Update revenue settings

Stripe Revenue Recognition occasionally makes system updates that might also trigger a correction.

To apply corrections directly to their original periods instead of the current period, reopen those periods using accounting period control.

Corrections columns

When you view corrections, the report includes an Original accounting period column to let you trace corrections back to the period they affect:
