Hi Rich, I had a problem with reconciling just over a year ago. It happened on 2 separate occasions.
My workflow to reconcile on both occasions was :- 1. Open the bank statement, and copy the closing balance. 2. Open the appropriate account in GnuCash. 3. Click the reconcile icon. 4. Enter the Statement Date as the date of the bank statement, and paste closing balance from 1. Into the ending balance field. 5. Select all the appropriate transactions, checking their values. 6. I'd then find difference, usually several hundred £'s. No missed or incorrect transactions in GnuCash. 7. Cancel the reconcile. 8. Repeat steps 1-7. 9. Start tearing hair out. 10. Repeat steps 2-3 11. Enter the Statement Date as the date of the bank statement, and type in closing balance from the bank statement Into the ending balance field. 12. Repeat step 5. 13. Lucky for me rather than unlucky. The account would balance. Conclusion - Even though the bank account balance I copied and pasted was the same as I typed in it appears as though something got copied across that caused the problem. Whether it was an invisible character, or a bad character, or what, I have no idea. It only happened the twice. I still follow the workflow in steps 1-5 now, but don't have the problem is step 5. Any differences I've found was down to me.

The amounts are significant. What puzzles me is that the previous month's balances (bank and GC) match and so do all the transactions. But, the end of month balances don't match. Many decades ago a penny or two difference when reconciling a bank account was common; I assume due to rounding errors. But why it is now more common (but sporatic) puzzles both me and my banker. We've gone over the transactions shown by the bank and by GC and neither of us can explain the discrepancies. Has anyone an idea of why this happens?
