Solutions to Fix Discrepancies While Reconciling Bank Account:

• Transactions Were Modified/Deleted/Added

The following steps must be implemented to solve the issue, based on the cause.

Solution One: Transactions Were Modified/Deleted/Added

QuickBooks has several reports that can help users identify discrepancies in reconciliation.

A. Step One

The ‘Reconciliation Discrepancy Report’ shows transactions that were sorted by statement date, but which have been changed since the last reconciliation.

• To access this report,
• users must choose ‘Banking’ in the ‘Reports’ menu and then select ‘Reconciliation Discrepancy’.
• Next, users must select the correct account and select OK.
• Finally, the report must be reviewed to check discrepancies.

B. Step Two

The ‘Missing Checks Report’ helps users in verifying missing transactions.

• To access this report, choose ‘Banking’ in ‘Reports’ menu and select ‘Reconciliation Discrepancy’.
• Now, select the correct account and then select OK.
• Finally, the report must be reviewed for discrepancies.

C. Step Three

The ‘Transaction Detail Report’ helps users verify changed/modified transactions.

• To access this report, users must choose ‘Custom Reports’ in ‘Reports’ menu and then select ‘Transaction Detail’. 
• Then, in ‘Display’ the following must be selected:
  • ‘Date From’—The earliest QuickBooks date (or it can be left blank)
  • ‘Date To’—The last reconciled statement date
  • Now, in ‘Filters’, the following must be selected:
  • ‘Account’—The account which is being reconciled
  • ‘Entered/Last Modified
  • ‘Date From’—Date of the last records
  • ‘Date To’—The present date
• When this is done, users must select OK for running the report.

Therefore, review the account and ensure that no one has made an incorrect Reconciliation adjustment:

• Reconciliation discrepancy might also arise due to a forced previous reconciliation that caused a reconciliation adjustment. In order to correct this error, users have to review the ‘Reconciliation Discrepancy’ account to check incorrect adjustments.
• To do this, users must select ‘Chart of Accounts’ on the ‘Lists’ menu. Then, they should choose the ‘Reconciliation Discrepancies’ account and double-click on it.
• Next, users must choose the correct filter from the ‘Dates’ drop-down menu:
• If users can’t identify the transaction(s) in the register that has to be corrected, they will have to undo the earlier reconciliation as long as the opening balance isn’t correct.
• After the opening balance has been corrected, users can reconcile the present month, while ensuring that the opening balance is correct for every month.
• If any transaction from a previous year was modified or deleted recently, users might have to undo the bank reconciliations for the past as many required year/s to reach where the opening balance is correct.
