Verification Balance Transactions (#CheckBalance)

Banana Accounting Plus includes the #CheckBalance function in the Check and recalculate accounting command for verifying and matching account balances.

This check is essential for the accuracy of the accounting. It is recommended to perform the balance verification periodically at the end of each month, in addition to the end of the accounting period, to avoid incorrect balances being carried over from month to month.

To perform this check, follow these steps:

• Record the date to which the balance refers.
• In the Description column, enter #CheckBalance followed by the amount corresponding to the balance to be verified (e.g., the actual cash balance, bank account balance from the bank statement, etc.).
• In the Debit column, indicate the account being checked (bank account, cash, VAT account, or another account to be verified).
• The Amount column must be left empty.

With this command, the program will flag any accounts with mismatched balances in the Messages window if discrepancies are found.
