An accounting automation tool like <strong>Synder Sync<\/strong> can significantly improve this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, make sure you have enough data. Synder integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks and<strong> tracks every penny coming in and going out<\/strong>. It\u2019s pulling sales, fees, expenses, and refunds from the platforms connected directly into QuickBooks. Moreover, it also categorizes your data into the right income and expense accounts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secondly, with all the data at your fingertips, there are a few important things you need to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Generate a bank reconciliation statement and a reconciliation discrepancy report.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compare internal financial records with bank statements and credit card statements to spot any mismatched transactions.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the transaction detail report in QuickBooks to spot where discrepancies crop up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look at your checking account, accounts receivable, and other relevant accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s too complicated, isn&#8217;t it?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if you have QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop integrated with Synder Sync, you\u2019ll have <strong>the<\/strong> <strong>automatic transaction matching<\/strong>, reconciling your bank account and credit card statements. This automation app logs your transaction data into a clearing account and then moves the right amounts to your checking account. When your bank statement comes in, it suggests matches. If something doesn\u2019t match up, Synder will flag it, so you can take a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And one more trick &#8211; QuickBooks <strong>provides a <\/strong><strong>reconciliation discrepancy report<\/strong>. It shows you what\u2019s cleared and what\u2019s still there, catching discrepancies early before they cause any major headaches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might need to make tweaks to balance everything and ensure accurate financial records. This can be done through <strong>reconciliation adjustments<\/strong>. We\u2019ll<strong> <\/strong>explore how to create adjusting journal entries in QuickBooks to iron out discrepancies on a deeper level in the next section.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7\"><span id=\"how-to-make-reconciliation-adjustments\"><strong>How to make <\/strong><strong>reconciliation adjustments<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To <a href=\"https:\/\/synder.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-reconciliation-discrepancies\/\">fix reconciliation discrepancies<\/a> in the reconciliation process, we need to use journal entries. They record financial transactions in your accounting books, showing the date, the accounts affected, and the amounts to be debited and credited.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what are the steps of adjusting reconciliation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1. <\/strong>Find out if the discrepancy is due to a bank error, missing check, or incorrect fee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2. <\/strong>If your bank statement shows a charge not recorded in QuickBooks, you\u2019ll need to make a journal entry to adjust your accounts receivable and bank account balances. For example, if you missed a $50 bank fee, you\u2019ll need to debit the bank fee expense account and credit your checking account. This will help align your ledger balance with your adjusted bank balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how you would record the journal entry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular cnvs-block-core-table-1721759702680\"><table class=\"has-background has-border-color has-a-3-a-3-a-3-border-color\" style=\"background-color:#f3f4f5\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Date<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Account<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Debit<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Credit<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>[Date]<\/td><td>Bank Fee Expense<\/td><td>$50<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>[Date]<\/td><td>Checking Account<\/td><td><\/td><td>$50<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3. <\/strong>Update your general ledger and QuickBooks account to reflect this adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4. <\/strong>Once you\u2019ve made the journal entry, run another bank reconciliation report to ensure that the discrepancy has been resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wrapping-up\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wrapping up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reconciliation discrepancies can be a real pain if left unattended. To keep your finances on point, generate discrepancy reports, make the right journal entries, and use tools like QuickBooks and Synder. Automation sync apps can help you stay on top of things. They cut down on the manual work and help you avoid mistakes, making the whole reconciliation process of your books a total breeze.
