The Beginning and Ending Balances on the report are Incorrect or Wrong
You will get wrong beginning and ending balances at the time of generating the reports. This will happen due to an incorrect statement date used on reconciliation or you have entered a later reconciliation in QuickBooks Desktop as early as the current one.
Note: QuickBooks Desktop links the statement date with each transaction you have reconciled within the software. Once the process is ended you move to print a reconciliation report, the beginning balance defining the sum of all cleared transactions containing the prior date to the one assigned for ongoing reconciliation. If a statement dates from a previous reconciliation delayed as compared to the statement date for the ongoing reconciliation, note that the transactions linked with the delayed date are not needful in the beginning balance.
Example: Suppose your previous Reconciliation date is 10/30/08 and an ongoing statement date is 09/31/08 then the transactions that are linked with the 10/30/08 statement date are not needful to be included in the beginning balance stated on 09/31/08 i.e ongoing reconciliation date.
When the previous reconciliation report has a future date, as well as ongoing reconciliation, have the past date then the date assigned to transactions later than the statement date discussed inside the ongoing reconciliation won’t be entered to the beginning balance of the report because the ending balance will always be derived from the beginning balance.
Do you know how to calculate the ending balance? Look below to calculate it easily.
Beginning Balance + Deposits and Other Credits – Checks and Payments = Ending Balance
Beginning balance and Ending balance are correlated with each other. If the beginning balance is wrong then the ending balance also resulted as wrong as well. It is because while calculating the Ending Balance we have added the total of Beginning Balance.
