[GNC] Closing books questions

[Terence Wong]

I have been using Gnucash for years, each time the accountant audits the
books, he commented Gnucash fails to show accurate brought forward
figures.  My last audit was two years ago. Since then, I have been putting
in entries as time goes by.  For this year, I want to try get all the
numbers correct in the book (i.e. the brought forward numbers from the last
audit).

I have the audit reports with audit adjustments as well as figures of  the
trial balance of all accounts provided the accountant.
My questions are:

Should I do a  GNUcash close book feature for 2016?
or
Should I just put in the numbers of the trial balance given by the
accountant at the beginning of 2017?

If I chose Close book, will all the entries I have put in since 2017 will
be lost?

What would be the best way to handle this situation?

Any feedback of suggestions are much appreciated.
