The bank accounts did not balance and I need to reconcile the 2021 and 2022 banks without changing the P&L numbers for 2021 and 2022. How can I clean up the unreconciled transactions in this scenario? Thanks for your help.

I'd be pleased to assist you in our Community forum, @AndyRiseUp. Let me provide you with troubleshooting steps to guide your reconciliation process.


The beginning balance amount should correspond to the amount shown on your bank statement for a specific period. You could have unreconciled a transaction that had previously reconciled, which would have altered the ending balance of the previous reconciliation and affected the starting balance of the following one. To isolate the issue, please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Review the original opening balance.
  2. Check your bank statement.
  3. Match and categorize downloaded transactions.
  4. Review any discrepancy reports.
  5. Once you know your balance is correct, start reconciling again.
