The Reconcile function helps to determine if your
checkbook is currently balanced. It compares what
the bank shows as your statement balance to what your
checkbook register shows as your statement balance.
Once all cleared (posted) transactions are recorded 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 (having a valid
date in the CLEARED input field). The amount shown in
the STATEMENT BALANCE box on the lower-left of the Main
Screen (also shown in a notice requester after you select
"Okay") is what Checkbook Accountant shows as your
statement balance. If this statement balance and your
bank statement's "statement balance" are the same,
congratulations!...you have just balanced your checkbook.
If you get different statement balance amounts, don't
despair. Try the following procedure which will print
out a copy of the cleared transactions:
1. Select View Select Groups from the Settings menu on
the Main Screen. This will display the View
(Select Groups) Requester.
2. Select Cleared Transactions and RANGE with a
suitable 'from' date (keep the 'to' date input
field blank so that the program will print the
transactions from the 'from' date to the present).
Select the "Okay" button or menu item to view the
selected transactions in the Main Screen
Transaction List.
3. Select Print from the Project menu on the Main
Screen. This will display the Print Requester.
4. Select the desired destination of the print out
(Printer or Disk File). Consult the Printing topic
for more assistance.
5. Select Viewable Transactions and the "Okay" button
or menu item. The viewable transactions, defined
to be the cleared transactions, will be printed.
6. Compare the print out to your checkbook register
and bank statement to determine the source of the
discrepancy. Fix any changes and repeat the
Reconcile function.
If the checkbook is still not balanced and you have
examined all of your transactions, then the bank could
have made an error. Consult with your bank for further
assistance. Remember to use the flexible View and Print
functions to track any problems before resorting to your
bank for help.
