Choose the Accountant → Client Data Review →Client Data Review command to display the Client Data Review – Start Review dialog box (see the figure). It starts you on a multiple-step process that walks you through the cleanup of a client’s QuickBooks data file, including utilities for finding and fixing unapplied customer and vendor payments and credits (a bane of bookkeepers everywhere), for performing wholesale reclassifications of transactions (useful for undoing wholesale errors), for cleaning up undeposited funds accounts and bad payroll liability account balances (common problems), and for writing off uncollectible invoices.
