Hi Ben, Thanks for your reply.
> Yes. You're asserting ???After this transaction that moves $0.00, the > balance should be $4.55???. Yep, that's how I've been using that expression for beginning and end of statement balance assertions, to pre & post declare what the balance must be at beginning and end of the specified transactions. ledger3.pdf that I have on hand says: 6.10.1 Balance assertions [..] Assets:Cash $-20.00 = $500.00 This simply asserts that after subtracting $20.00 from Assets:Cash, that the resulting total matches $500.00. If not, it is an error. > $9.10 Expenses The reversal of values for the balance assertion in your example has doubled the value of Expenses :( My example works if I specify the leaf account name for the assertion, but not anything higher.
