The word 'Chequing' is not a real word; it should be 'Cheque'. This word is automatically generated in the Totals line of a Balance Sheet Report. Can you please change this???
This might be a word used in Canada, but, not in Australia!!!

BAD AND INCORRECT ENGLISH BUGS ME!

    Shouldn't it be "Bad and Incorrect English BUG me?"

    Whilst it is used mainly in Canada as you pointed out, it is actually a real word - the original US version of QuickBooks used to pass through a version change in Canada before it came to Australia for our version changes...  assume that this was overlooked, as the spelling was still somewhat close to our Cheque Account spelling.

    Definition:
    chequing account
    noun - Canadian, an account at a bank or building society against which cheques may be drawn at any timeAlso called (in Britain and certain other countries): current account

    When posting this in the Ideas portal - ideas.reckon.com - we should probably suggest the words Current/Savings for that heading the Balance Sheet?
