Reconciliation Error
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2010 8:44 pm
Our financial clerk was doing our December reconciliation this past Sunday and came across an odd error.
November 2009 was fine and in balance.
After entering the data from our December 2009 statement (beginning balances, interest, etc), we have one outstanding check from December for 351.23, no other items, no temporary items.
We get to the report screen and find a tithing balance of 66,295.03, Fast Offering of 6,893.67, Missionary of 10,836.96 leaving us with some serious unreconciled differences. We have no idea where these values are coming from, the beginning balances show zero, and as I said November zeroed out just fine.
Now if we go back and look at a previous months (I know, a bad idea) we see the same unreconciled differences each time, even though each month had previously balanced just fine.
We did have an issue closing year end (it's in another thread), but year end did close and all was well.
Any thoughts?
