Dave, No worries about raining on my parade. I figured it was probably a preferences issue. I did check the account and it was marked income & expense not credit. So I changed it to credit. So that shows the balance correctly as a negative (which I overlooked). Also it is positioned correctly as a

I really hate to rain on your parade... Check your Edit>Preferences>Accounts>Reverse Balanced Accounts. I believe the default is labelled Credit, but that means Credit Card, Payable, Liability Equity and Income, and that is probably what is checked in your file. If that is so, then the balance s

Thanks for that hint David, I did check the running totals in the register and I did not find anything but what I did was realize what the source of the problem is. This is a liability account.

Mike, I did do it the old way eg: pen and paper and checked so I did not overlook transpositions by checking my total payments noted in Gnucash against the statement which agree as well as the credits. And indeed there are no outstanding amounts for 195.14 or 97.57. Since the statement and Gnucash
