Fixing out of balance bank reconciliations (2024)

When you'rereconciling a bank account, an out of balance amount tells you that something isn't quite right. So you need to work out what's gone wrong.

The out of balance will be caused by a problem in your current reconciliation or a previous reconciliation.

If you've checked the causes listed aboveand your reconciliation still doesn't balance, it might relate to an incorrectly displayedCalculated Statement Balancein theReconcile Accountswindow. This is a rareissue thatonly affects thedisplayedbalance, not theactualbalance.

Here's a quick check to see if this is your issue:
