I work with non profits , and other organizations, one of the main reports required by funders and board of directors on a monthly basis is your bank statement bank reconciliation statements/report ,gl, income statement, manager is a great program which I have recommended to many businesses owners please consider adding a print out of the report when completed. A bank reconciliation statement may be old fashioned to some but for the rest of us it extremely important. I do hope the techs at manager do give this some consideration, it is not necessary to save all reconciliations but be able to print the present on and the prior month. or just consider allowing a print out of the report, some of us really do need this feature
Hello @andreaj1001,
You can generate such a report by printing out the Bank Reconciliation view screen as well as the following tab data:
- Bank and Cash Accounts >
Cleared Balance
Good day Ealfardan
thank you for your response, I will look at it today
The view does not show the transactions that were included in that reconciliation. Only closing balance as per bank statement.
This shows them
You (or your clients) seem to misunderstand the purpose of reconciliation. See my post #6 above.
As an accountant here, and user of Manager for ~3 years, I can attest that I agree with those who would like to see a report like this.
The purpose of a bank reconciliation - or reconciliation of any kind - is to ensure that the debits and credits to the account match transactions records generated by another recordkeeping system. The assumption that I assume Manager works on, is that one will review the underlying transactions in the Manager bank account before completing the reconciliation form; however, one’s accounting system records could be vastly incorrect, and still match the balance as of month end - for example: if a business were to receive an advance from a customer to buy materials, and disburse funds to their supplier in the same month for the same amount, or receive an investment from an owner of the business to purchase assets, and purchase the asset in the same month, in both case the bank account could show reconciled while the accounting records are inaccurate.
So, in summary, while I do appreciate Manager’s current reconciliation system, it would be much more robust if all cash transactions have a state of being reconciled or unreconciled. Another program I have used has a field for this. Then all a user has to do is to review the account in Manager and select a box to mark the transaction as reconciled, then produce a report which shows all the transactions on that report, or during a specified time period, which are marked as reconciled.
