Reconciling bank accounts is a complex process. In Accounting CS, the Actions > Reconcile Bank Accounts screen and the Actions > Reconcile Impound Bank Accounts screen enable you to easily reconcile Accounting CS bank accounts. You can download transaction data from your financial institution and then match and clear those transactions against transactions entered in Accounting CS. Or you can manually clear transactions entered in Accounting CS using a printed or online bank statement.

For a graphical representation of the bank account reconciliation process, see the bank account reconciliation workflow.
