# How intercompany balances appear in COUNT consolidated reports

When you run the balance sheet across several workspaces in multi-entity reporting, balances between linked companies in your selection cancel each other out. The group doesn't owe itself money, so those balances don't appear in the consolidated totals.

This applies to the Due From and Due To balances that Intercompany creates on Loan links. To set up a link, see **How to set up Intercompany workspaces in COUNT**.

## **Example**
Northwind Holdings has lent Northwind Coffee money, and $1,500.00 is still outstanding. Holdings shows a $1,500.00 Due From Northwind Coffee, and Coffee shows a $1,500.00 Due To Northwind Holdings.
| Workspaces in your selection | What the consolidated balance sheet shows |
| ---- | ---- |
| Holdings and Coffee | Neither balance. The $1,500.00 Due From and Due To cancel out. |
| Holdings only | Holdings' $1,500.00 as a real receivable, which is correct, since Coffee is outside the group you're reporting on. |

## **If the consolidated balance sheet is out of balance**
Unresolved drift between linked workspaces is the usual cause. This happens when one side's Due From no longer matches the other side's Due To, often because of a manual journal entry posted outside Intercompany.
1. Click **Check intercompany drift** on the notice.
2. Find the entry that was posted outside Intercompany and correct it.
3. On the link's **Drift** tab, click **Run Check Now** to confirm the two sides agree again.
