HELP WITH OPENING BALANCE ADJUSTMENT FOR LIMITED COMPANY

Hello Everyone, 

I have been challenged at work with some task. I would like to ask for some advise if you dont mind :-)

 This is a limited company`s accounts: 

The opening balance shows £20,000 for Debtors, however this amount only includes £2,000 for the Debtors and £18,000 CIS receivable (suffered in previous year) . The £18,000 was refunded by HMRC this year.  There is no CIS receivable account for previous years at all.

How do I go by doing the opening adjustment? I debited the Bank £20,000 but if I credit the Debtor it will not show true figure for the closing balance this year.  Arrgghh I am so confused.

Am I supposed to reinstate the previous accounts? 

 

Thank you for all your help in advance :-)
