Public accountant question: prior year adjustments to retained earnings?

[Richard Games]

Hello, I'm a public practice accountant in Canada and unfamiliar with Gnucash. I have tried to check the archies for this topic, but the archive were unavailable on the maillist site.

I have a client that has made entries in the prior year by accident. Therefore I need to make an adjustment to retained earnings.

When I go to the account that needs adjustment, all is fine, but I cannot find retained earnings within the listed accounts for the other side of the entry.

Two questions:
Could someone please tell me how to locate retained earnings for journal entries?

Is there a general journal transaction entry screen - or do all entries have to be entered directly into the register of one of the accounts?


Thank you very much,
Richard
