If you click See Details you can correct issues and sync the different items. For example, for Employees their full names must match exactly between QuickBooks and AMG. If there is anything you do not have you can import from/ export to QuickBooks.

NOTE: Synchronization is bidirectional for all items except for Company info, which is synchronized only from QuickBooks to AMGtime.
