When you entered the debtors by invoice you'd have presumably credited turnover and credited VAT liability (if applicable), so all you need to do is;
Dr Suspense with total debtors
Cr turnover with net sales
Cr VAT liability with VAT on sales
Easiest thing to do for the accruals would be to ask the previous accountant for their schedule. Chances are some of the accrual will be the accountant's fee. So check the accountant's invoice. Other invoices dated after the opening balance sheet date may include amounts incurred before the start of the current period. Could be a time-consuming investigation, so might not be worth being 100% accurate if the value of the accrual is immaterial.0
