I took over a set of books on 1/1/07 for a client who buys and sells real estate. There are several properties on the books that the client doesn't recognize, and the previous bookkeeper has no explanation. Cash and bank accounts appear to be in order, but I need to credit the respective property accounts to remove these properties. What account should I debit? One accountant suggested debiting the Retained Earnings account. Can I use Retained Earnings for other adjustments as well?

Our company offers a reimbursement plan up to $500 for health improvement items like gym memberships and exercise equipment. We pay for these items upfront and then submit receipts for reimbursement through the payroll system, which counts it as taxable income. Since we've already paid tax on this money once, isn't this double taxation?
