Account Reconciliation

Reconciling your Bkper accounts against real-world bank statements ensures that your records match reality. Bkper’s daily balance values — sometimes called a running or rolling balance — make it straightforward to spot and correct discrepancies.

Selecting the account and period

Open your Book and select the Account that corresponds to the bank statement you want to reconcile. When you select an Account, the daily balance value appears on the last Transaction of each day.

This is the corresponding bank statement for the same Account and period.

Detecting differences

From the final balance value on the Book you can quickly detect the difference between the Book and the statement. In this example, the Book shows −72.47 while the statement shows −92.22.

Comparing daily balances

Compare the daily balance values on the Transactions from the beginning of the period until you detect what causes the difference.

The Book:

The statement:

Walk through the daily balances chronologically. When a day’s balance in Bkper diverges from the statement, the Transaction causing the difference is on that day — it may be a wrong amount, a missing Transaction, or a duplicate.

Correcting discrepancies

Correct any difference you find by editing the Transaction. After correcting all errors during the period, the daily balance values on all Transactions match the daily balance values on the statement.

Marking reconciled Transactions

The check mark on Transactions serves as a powerful reconciliation aid. Beyond confirming the balance value, it can also signal that attachments, comments, and other details have been reviewed. Check each Transaction as you reconcile it to maintain a clear reference of what has been verified.

Tip

Use the check and uncheck feature systematically during reconciliation. Unchecked Transactions give you a clear view of what still needs review — making it easy to pick up where you left off.
