I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but perhaps it will be cleared if I tell you that reconciling is a process that applies **as of a certain date.**
In other words, the bank says my balance *as of* December 11 is $100.00. When I reconcile, I enter that closing balance, and then confirm my transactions with the statement. If they end up the same at the end, then I can say my account is reconciled as of December 11. The point is, if you have a closing balance on a statement, you will be reconciling every transaction prior to that date that the bank has registered, which I believe means the answer to your specific question is "yes."

So, I thought of trying to find the error by reconciling for different periods. If I put in the date for the last statement for the period I want to check, can I just put in an amount as the ending balance that coincides with the starting period and that way check on a period by period basis? I know it sounds complicated but I cannot think of a better way of doing it.
