Bank Reconciliation issue

[sedsmiling]

Hi

I took over the books for someone last year, the accountant hadn't finished the end of year stuff & there was things outstanding in the bank reconcilation that had to be adjusted.  And for that reason I hadn't been doing the bank reconcilations till all the end of year things were correct in the file which occured recently. I used the bank feeds for transactions. 

When I go into to bank reoncilation screen the last date of reconcilation is 30th June 2016  the last time I checked it had 31st July 2016 so obviously accountant reversed that reoncilation which is fine.  But now when I put in the date of 31st July no transactions come up in the screen.  

Can anyone tell me why?  And how to fix it?  The opening balance 1st July is correct but the end balance showing on balance sheet is wrong.  

Thanks

Stacey

Hi sedsmiling Stacey,

It is possible to go into the bank reconciliation and put the date back to a previous date.   See below for example.

I suspect this is what the Accountant has done and by doing this it will not bring back the transactions that were reconciled incorrectly to 31 July 2016.

Possible suggestion to fix this:

1. Firstly and importantly take a clear back up (in case you it doesn't work and you cant restore easily).
2. You can always restore this back up as a dummy test run too to see if the below works before doing in the live file.  
3. Then click undo bank reconciliation.   You will need to reconcile again to 30 June to match the bank statement, however this should bring back the transactions from 1 July 2016 onwards. 

I will keep an eye out for your response or further queries.   If I have resolved please kindly post as a solution.
