I have always closed my books at the end of an accounting period.

However, upon further investigation, it appears that the 2013 close book 
transaction was not correctly performed.

How that happened I have no idea. Most likely I did the close book for 
that year incorrectly and missed it. Is it recoverable? For instance can 
a close books be run with a date of 12/31/2013?

I do not want to start over with a new set of books but I may have to do so.
