Reconciling checks that the books agree with a statement. Open the account on Banking and choose Reconcile, or choose Reconcile beside it in the list. Enter the statement's last date and its ending balance, and choose Start. For a card, the balance is the amount owed. Enter a negative balance for an overdrawn bank account or a card in credit.

Tick each entry the statement shows; the cleared balance and the difference update as you tick. When the cleared balance equals the statement balance, the difference is zero and Finish can be chosen. If the statement shows something the books do not have, import or add it, then come back; the ticks are kept. Cancel removes the ticks.

The next reconciliation starts from the last one's balance. Reconciled statements lists earlier ones, and the latest can be reopened with Reopen to change its ticks.

If the books and the statement still differ and you cannot find why, Contact support.
