custom cash flow statement end of period cash not tying to balance sheet

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The discrepancy between the end of period cash in the custom cash flow statement and the balance sheet could be due to a number of reasons. One possible reason could be the timing of transactions. The cash flow statement and balance sheet may not be reflecting the same period of time. Ensure that the dates for both reports are set correctly and are consistent with each other. Another reason could be the inclusion or exclusion of certain transactions. The cash flow statement includes only those transactions that involve cash inflows and outflows. However, the balance sheet includes all transactions, whether they involve cash or not. Make sure that all cash transactions are being correctly reflected in both reports. Also, it's worth noting that the standard or 'canned' cash flow reports in NetSuite are known to have issues. Some users have reported discrepancies and inaccuracies in these reports. If you're using a standard cash flow report, this could be the source of the problem. You may need to create a custom cash flow report from scratch, using formulas to ensure accuracy. Lastly, consider using third-party tools or add-ins, such as Vena or Agicap, which can help to bring data from NetSuite to Excel and create more accurate forecasts. However, be aware that these tools may require some setup and configuration. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
