My bank account (1200) reconciliation and trial balance, don't match, any help?

SOLVED

Hi

I've reconciled my balances for my year end, the reconciliation agrees with my bank balance but then when I go to the nominal ledger at the year end it says a different number.

I'm thinking of moving all my accounts to bokio because it's free and a big saving, I've put into bokio my opening balances from my trial balance but because there's a discrepancy between the trial balance and my statement (in spite of sage reconciling this balance correctly) when I try and reconcile my first statement on bokio, it doesn't reconcile.

Is there any reason why they would be different? Could I have made a historic mistake? I've checked back 3 years at the opening and closing balances and they all match.

The amount is about £80 cr, very small and insignificant. Should I just make a cheeky journal as an adjustment so the opening balance matches the statement?

    Hi Lwoff

    Thanks for using Sage City.

    If your Bank reconciled balance does not match your Trial balance the most likely explanation is that there are unreconciled transactions in your bank account. You can find these by running the "unreconciled bank transactions" report or sort your bank activity by the "reconciled" column.
