    Reconcile the ledger to bank statements

    Match ledger entries to bank transactions, list unmatched items and timing differences, and prove the adjusted balances agree.

    Why doesn't my ledger balance match the bank?

    Reconciliation matches each bank transaction to a ledger entry by amount, date and reference. Remaining differences are timing items (outstanding checks, deposits in transit) or errors; adjusted bank and book balances must agree.
