Dave Heston, a Shelby Financials Consultant, sent me a copy of his step-by-step guide for reconciling monthly bank statements.
After reviewing the guide, I decided it belongs in the Best Practices section of my blog. You can download a copy here.
Dave, thank you for your hard work.
Never has our General Ledger out of balance been zero. Using the suggestions in this guide has never found the reason. Bank statements reconcile to zero okay. Any suggestions for what I may look for?
John, I do not have any additional suggestions. However, from others who have made similar comments, it appears that something in the balancing part of the code is not working as designed for some situations. I will be having a programmer examine your issue.
If it is ok, I might need to reach out to you for some specifics.
