What this is

Reconcile your bank statement against your register. Adjusted statement should equal register.

Bank shows what's cleared. Register shows what you've written or initiated. Outstanding items (uncleared cheques, pending e-transfers, in-flight deposits) explain the gap. When the adjusted statement matches your register, you're balanced.

Not balanced — investigate the gap. Common causes: forgotten autopay, double-entered cheque, bank fee.

Use it monthly when a paper statement lands, or whenever you spot a balance you can't explain. Mismatches usually mean: a forgotten autopay, a duplicate charge, or fraud.
