    You are putting them in the wrong columns... are you sure all of your DR and CR are labeled correctly?!

    I put how they should be re: DR and CR, and totals aren't agreeing too.. but I don't see any debtors or depreciation figures, maybe there is a missing figure... check that you did not leave something out!! :)
