Yes, I have found both, transactions 'out of order' and balance not 'correct'

I usually find that I made a booboo in an entry or duplicated one or wrong date/year....

To be honest, even after checking there is often a few centimes difference but I don't let it bother me.....😁 Life is too short.

Roland,

It also depends where in the register display you are getting the balance at
a specific date. Transactions do not always get entered in GnuCash in the
order they appear on a statement Rarely in the case of my credit card and
sometimes also my paypal account.

If you are looking at the balance displayed on the Balance column on the
right, the balance at a specific date is not necessarily the reconciled
balance as there may be unreconciled transactions in between. Not all
transactions on that date may necessarily have been reconciled. My
transactions are often out of the order in the register cf order in the
statement

The reconciled total in the status bar at the bottom of the window is the
total of all reconciled transactions in that register and is what should
appear in the starting balance for the reconciliation. If this does not
agree with the opening balance on the statement or the closing balance of
the previous statement then you have an error somewhere earlier in your
records.
