Bank recs posted even though they were not correct

Posted By FormerMember

I took over accounting from someone who clearly did not know what they were doing.  I have compared the G/L bank account with the bank statements, and having gone back 3 months now, the bank account closing balance in Sage is out by a large amount each month.  What is the easiest way to determine where the error occurred and how can I fix it, if the bank account was reconciled say in February with an error and that error was carried forward to the end of the year?

    Hi, comparing the GL Bank Account with the bank statements don't usually match especially if you have outstanding items such as cheques etc that have not cleared the bank yet.  Is there a starting point that you can find that the bank reconciliation is correct and matches the bank GL with or without outstanding items?
