Please advice on how to fix the accoutning error. Thanks!!

Please advice on how to fix the error in below:

The expense was recorded to last year by making a journal entry. It means that the expenses was recognized as expenses in year 2013 but never hit the aged accounts payable. The expense was never paid until last week. In order to process the payment, the expense needs to re-record by hitting accounts payable. So they reversed out the expense that has been recorded by making a journal entry and re-recorded the expense through accounts payable in 2013. So the check can be produced. The problem is that last year financial statement has been done and cannot be changed. If the expenses hit the accounts payable then it would change everything including trail balance and financial statement because the amount of account payable is changed. Could everybody please advice on how to pay this payment by not affecting accounts payable of last year? . Thank you so much for all your professional advice!!!!
