Fix a reconile statement - Ending balance was wrong

Hi All,

 

I just reconciled for May to create a report due on June 1st. I thought I was done, everything looked good. When I went back into the bank at 1:15am the bank cleared a check and released a pending deposit. Now my balance ending statement balance on the reconcile report is incorrect. How should I fix this?

Fix a reconile statement - Ending balance was wrong

Hey there, SJLES PTA.

 

Here are some of the causes why your reconciliation ending balance is wrong:

 

  • An incorrect ending balance at the start of the reconciliation.
  • Missing or duplicate transactions in QuickBooks.
  • Someone entered transactions into QuickBooks that hasn't cleared your bank yet.
  • Duplicate transactions.

 

You might want to verify the pending deposit if it's part of your May statements. Once verified, you'll need to redo the reconciliation process to ensure your books are accurate. On the same links, you'll find detailed steps on how to resolve balance issues in the program.
