I am assisting the accountant reconcile the books starting with January 1, 2026.  The beginning balance for the 1/2026 is off by $549.41.  The books were reconciled correctly thru 12/31/25.  I have unreconciled December, November and October hoping to find the discrepancy to no avail.  Please help me.

When a beginning balance changes out of nowhere, it almost always means a transaction that was already reconciled in the past was edited, deleted, or accidentally uncleared.

 

To check the discrepancy or any transactions being deleted or edited, you may check the Audit Log feature.

 

  1. In the Gear icon, select Audit Log.
  2. Under the Date Changed field, select Custom.
  3. On the Events field, select Bank Connections
  4. Look for any transactions dated on or before 12/31/25 that were modified.
