Well, it is simple.

This years beginning balance = last years end  balance

If last years end balance (printed as per 31.12.2010 in early January - or 
whenever you finished year-end work) differs from the balance per 31.12.2010 as 
printed NOW then last years data (or even older data) has changed.

You need to find the change and correct it.

One of the more common causes why data may have changed is if you were trying 
to put in a repeat transaction by editing an older document (e.g. invoice with 
payment to the checking account). Instead of "saving as new" you just modified 
the transaction after changing the date.

As always, do yourself a favour and don't fiddle with the database!

Regards,
Bernd
