			<description><![CDATA[<p>In Asia we use a &quot;Suspense Account&quot; as the contra entry pending decision of where to post it to. This is also used in entering opening balances as Journal Vouchers - all in one go. The said &quot;Suspense Account&quot; will hold un-reconciled amounts till proper allocation is made from the closing balance sheet.</p>]]></description>
