Bank Reconciliation Troubleshooting

Find why a bank reconciliation will not balance.

Updated June 2026
The prompt
Help me troubleshoot a bank reconciliation that is off by {{difference}}. Walk through the common causes in order (outstanding checks and deposits in transit, bank fees and interest not recorded, transposed digits, duplicated or missing entries, timing differences, an error in the opening balance), how to systematically narrow it down, and how to find the specific discrepancy. Note the trick that a difference divisible by 9 often signals a transposition, and how to prevent reconciliation problems going forward. Keep it methodical.
