- 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.
