A [beancount](https://beancount.github.io/docs/) plugin that automatically inserts a 0 balance check for closed balance sheet accounts.

A closing directive e.g.

```

2015-04-23 close Assets:Checking

```

will ensure transactions can not involve this account after that date.

However it will not check that the balance is 0 after closing.

This is what this plugin does. It's equivalent to adding:

```

2015-04-24 balance Assets:Checking 0 GBP

```

for all the commodities of that account.

There is a similarly named plugin within beancount ['check_closing'](https://beancount.github.io/docs/api_reference/beancount.plugins.html#beancount.plugins.check_closing)

but that plugin requires you to add metadata to the specific closing transaction.

Installation:

```

pip install git+https://github.com/daniel-wells/beancount_checkclosed.git

```

Usage:

Add the following line to your ledger file:

```

plugin "beancount_checkclosed.check_closed"

```
