The Reconcile function allows you to quickly check if
what the bank shows as your statement balance and what
your checkbook register shows as your statement balance.
Once all cleared (posted) transactions are in for the
month, select Reconcile and choose OKAY to continue. The
program will determine the checkbook's statement balance,
by totalling only those transactions that have been
marked as being cleared (has a valid date in the CLEARED
string gadget). The amount shown in the STATEMENT
BALANCE box on the lower-left of the Main Screen is what
the Checkbook Accountant shows as being your statement
balance. If they are the same, congratulations!...you
have just balanced your checkbook.
If you get different statement balance amounts, don't
fear. Print out a copy of either all checkbook
transactions from the last balanced statement to the
last-entered transaction (from the View requester, select
ALL TRANSACTIONS and RANGE with a suitable "from" date;
leave the "to" date blank so that it will print from that
date forward), or only the cleared transactions (from the
View requester, select Cleared Transactions and RANGE, as
described in the previous step). Go to the Print
requester and select Viewable Transactions and the
desired destination (printer or disk file, whichever is
best for you). Compare the printout with your checkbook
register. This should help track down any discrepancies
in recording the transactions. If you find any errors,
correct them and try again. Repeat this process until
you cannot find the error on your part and being to
believe the error is in the bank's records. You will
have to deal with the bank yourself; Checkbook Accountant
can only do so much.
Good luck with your reconciliation. If you have any
problems balancing your checkbook, try out different
View and Print options. Their availability is to your
advantage.
