Tell the accounting drones to
1) Draw up and post a summarised correcting journal in next period
2) Draw up and post a summarised journal for the current period
3) Keep a printout of the original Journal detail in case the Auditors need 
to be shown it.

As well as the Journal files there are the Period Balance files to 
consider, if you try and tweak a many line journal and there's a problem it 
can be quite a tapdance to get it all straight again.
