Repeat steps 1 through 7. The out-of-balance amount should now be zero.
Note If the out-of-balance amount has doubled, the calculation in step 11 was performed incorrectly. Reverse the calculation, and reprint the report to verify the out-of-balance figure is zero.
Bank Reconciliation can now be reconciled to a statement for a single month.
