Tips for Fixing Bank Reconciliation Errors
If you don’t get a matching number, subtract both numbers. If that number is divisible by 9, then you may have transposed a number in your records (recorded 54 instead of 45).
Sometimes older reconciled items get changed or deleted and that could throw off the reconciliation.
You may be missing a check or deposit. Look for an entry that matches the amount your reconciliation discrepancy.
