Is there an alert during Bank Reconciliation or Close Checklists that alerts you if a bank account balance/register balance doesn't match the GL? In May, an incorrect bank balance was recorded during reconciliation. The accountant recorded a balance that was $0.22 off from the actual bank account balance. From May until November, they have been recording the correct bank balance, but the GL does not match that balance now. We need to adjust the GL without changing the bank balance so the accounts will match. 1. Should there have been an alert in Match Bank Data saying there was a $0.22 discrepancy? 2. How do we correct the GL?

This is not really how bank reconciliation works. The GL doesn’t have to match the bank and that would account for differences in Bank, GL or both. So my advice would be that they adjust the bank balance next reconciliation for this difference. I would say undo the bank recs and correct but that means going back months.
