RE: Trial Balances. So I've been reversing out some amounts to clear the balances for a period, with the aim to re-input the balances at the correct figures. But after clearing the month in question at the Subsidiary level for all of the subsidiaries, I find that there are still balances at the consolidated level. Anyone know why?

what kind of accounts are you talking about?

There's Fixed Assets, AP, Deferred Rev, Rev, expense accounts. It sort of looks all over the place. But the amounts are small compared to what would be there otherwise.

review your revaluation journals, and elimination ones just in case

I'd also review your consolidation rates as well - it's plausible there is some math issues causing your remaining balances.
i.e. part of the balances were in USD - and you JE'd them out in CAD.
should be noted that if you are trying to completely zero them out - some accounts require that they be zero in each currency.
and some accounts like AP and AR won't revalue unless there is a customer associated.
