Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Balance Checker detect mismatches?

Starting with your stated opening balance, the tool sequentially computes: Expected = Previous Balance + Credit - Debit. If the row contains a stated running balance that does not match this calculated figure, it highlights the exact delta.

Can it handle negative balances and bank overdrafts (OD/CC)?

Yes. The engine uses institutional-grade fixed-point monetary arithmetic and natively accommodates negative balances, overdraft facilities (OD/CC), interest debits, and transaction reversals.

What if my statement does not have a running balance column?

The checker will calculate the expected closing balance from your opening balance and total credits/debits, and compare it against your expected final figure.
