Thanks for replying. However, it doesn't work out as being okay. When
I use the */actions/reconcile/ *menu choice to reconcile my account,
that false beginning balance is factored into the final balance. Where
it should be zero difference between cleared and reconciled balances,
there is a false number.
How is that beginning balance calculated? If I can check on the numbers
that are used to calculate the beginning balance, I should be able to
find the mistake that is generating that error.

AS long as the ending balance is correct, you are good. Delete the

*Subject:* [GNC] Account reconciliation -- Gnucash's beginning balance
is incorrect.
Hello!
I have been using Gnucash for years to keep track of my personal
finances and it has always done a good job for me. However, recently I
was trying to reconcile my checking account and the starting balance in
Gnucash's reconciliation popup window was not only wrong, but showed a
negative balance. (I attached a screenshot of that popup window FYI.)
I'm reconciling my August 2023 statement that shows an ending balance of
$1378.00 (the correct amount, so this should have just been a slam-dunk
reconciliation) but the starting balance for that period was $299.46
which is the reconciled balance at the end of July. Instead, Gnucash is
showing a starting balance of $ -200.54.
I tried entering a correction transaction of $200.54, but it didn't
change anything.
So, any ideas as to what went wrong and how to fix this? Thanks.
John
