 So now now We have the payments which add up to the 106892 So if I pull up the trusty calculator here, I can say let's do a trusty calculation It's a trusty calculator. We're at the 106829 Minus what we have on the bank statement, which is here minus The 111829 so we're off by 5,000 which is that which is that 5,000 right here, which I couldn't enter because I know those were the Cleared items from last time that aren't in the system because that's part of the beginning balance issue Okay, so now you would think you would think that this would be at zero So I'm gonna kind of I'm gonna try to double there's an error here. You've probably noticed this by now There's an error here. Let's see if we can figure it out. So so first of all the beginning balance up top is 30,000 that's different than our beginning balance by 25,000 right so so they have here 25,000 so there's a difference of 5,000 and then the additions are 143 070 and that ties out to the 143 070 85 so that is correct and then the payments we just saw has a difference of 111829 minus The Over here the payments are at 106 829 so that's another difference of 5,000 So you would think that I would I would be actually Netting out to zero here or be off by like 10,000 right so how am I off by 39? 960 it has to be because the the actual clear balance is incorrect the clear balance 61 281 45 Over here. I have to 61 241 85 so I did like a dyslexic thing Which I am prone to do from time to time, but it's out of pure example problem purposes and not because The stupid number was turned around so in any case Well, let's edit that one and say this is going to be this needs to change this needs to 61 241 85 This is just why we do this just so you we can fix these data input Errors that people sometimes make when they're not doing it on purpose 61 241 85 61 241.85 so that should put us back in balance So there now it's at zero so now it's at zero so now you could say well Let's just move forward and we could we could move forward and say well, that's the first bank rec I don't quite get it I don't quite understand because this is wrong and this is wrong But they kind of net each other out so whatever and you could go forward and reconcile and you would be good going forward because the next ending balance will be proper To the beginning balance next time But it's not exactly right if you go forward doing that because and it might not always work because these two items happen to have cleared Sometimes these two items might not have cleared in the following period and then you won't have that happy coincidence that it ties out and even if you do it's it's still kind of an issue because This bank reconciliation doesn't really make sense if you gave it to an auditor if you tried to explain what happened You'd be like, yeah, the beginning balance was 25,000 even though it's 30 here and then down here We had a difference of the same but that like the opposite so what we really would like to do Is deal with that beginning balance issue so that we have a nice audit trail to see what happened from the prior accounting software Which is that we have these two amounts that were outstanding last time meaning they were included in our accounting system But not cleared the bank yet which now have cleared the bank this time And so we'll and so we'd like to document that so it makes sense And we can see it so we'll do that that's the issue. We'll deal with next time before We finalize so don't finish it yet You're gonna be tempted to hit that green button and you could it won't be the end of the world or anything But to hold your horses hold your horses Because the horse needs love too and if your horse looks really tired So just hold give it a hug and then we'll come back and we'll finish it up next time
