Reports Instructions
The Reports program produces five separate reports that will
assist you in managing your bank account. You may pull down the
menu and select one of the following reports.
Reconciliation Report - This report is used to reconcile
you bank account. If you have never done this before,
here's how it works:
The idea is to provide a means for you to determine if
the bank balance you think you have actually agrees with
what the bank says you have. You reconcile your account
at the time you receive your monthly bank statement.
To reconcile you account, enter the Checkbook program,
and using your bank statement, locate each transaction
listed. You may use the proportional gadget or the Up
and Down Arrows to scroll up and down, or you can use
the Find function. Once a transaction has been located,
compare the amount on the statement with the amount you
had entered in the journal. If the amounts agree,
select the Set Recon gadget in order to turn on the
reconciliation flag. By setting this flag you are
indicating that the transaction has cleared the bank and
that your amounts agree. If the amounts do not agree,
further research will be required.
After setting the reconciliation flag for all the
cleared transactions, return to the Reports program and
select the reconciliation option. At this time you will
be ask to enter the statement date and ending balance.
The ending balance is normally found at the bottom right
hand corner of the statement.
After doing this the program will present all
transactions that have not cleared the bank, or in other
words, all transactions for which the reconciliation
flag is not set. Next, the program will present
balancing information which includes the balance from
the statement, deposits not processed by the bank, and
checks or withdrawals not yet processed by the bank.
Next, the following computation is made: the deposits
not credited are added to the bank statement balance and
checks outstanding are subtracted from the result. If
the result of the computation is equal to your balance,
your account is in balance. If not, either you or your
bank has made an error. Since banks seldom made errors,
chances are you made the error. The most common cause
of errors is that the reconciliation flag is set when in
fact the amounts do not agree.
Expense Summary Report - This report presents the
budgeted amount, total expenditures, and total
expenditures as a percentage of the budgeted amount for

category.

All reports provide the option for sending the output to
the printer. Further, all reports, with the exception
of the Reconciliation report, require that a date range
be entered.
