There are a couple of things to check when reconciling a bank account after not all the payroll year-to-date (YTD) adjustments are clear. These are the details that we can look at:
- Review Transactions: Check if all payroll transactions are entered correctly in QuickBooks.
- Verify Adjustments: Ensure that your YTD adjustments are accurate and reflect the correct amounts.
- Check Dates: Confirm that the transaction dates align with the reconciliation period.
- Reconcile in Stages: If reconciling for the entire year, start with the oldest bank statement and work month by month.
- Consult Reports: Use reconciliation reports to identify discrepancies.
