My annual net income for the year as per income statement is $24K, which is a credit balance.  In the multicolumn B/S, the "retained earnings" amount is $(24)K, so the sign has been reversed, and a net profit is reducing my equity instead of increasing it.

As usual: sample datafile, screenshots please.
Otherwise most bugs are "WORKSFORME"
