I want to do bank reconciliation for a year without including the previous year, but I am finding it difficult to do. Can I have some assistance?
That makes no sense. A bank account is a perpetual record. You cannot reconcile this year if there is still a mistake from last year.

Please explain in detail about your bank reconciliation and I might be able to advise
Is it possible to only reconcile the current year and not the previous year? For example, I want to reconcile 2024 without reconciling 2023. Is that possible?
You reconcile 2023 by entering the date to reconcile as the end of financial year 2023.
After which you can do exactly as you desire by entering a second reconciliation in Manager at the date of the end of financial year 2024.
Yes, it’s possible, as long as starting balances are the same in Manager and on bank statement. If not, make them so.

Picking up where @Jim53 left, if you gave up on reconciling 2023 – for example – and you just want to reconcile 2024, you can create a single Receipt, Payment or Journal Entry to this effect:
| Account | Debit | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Bank account | Discrepancy amount | |
| Equity account (Retained earnings or Capital subaccount) |
Discrepancy amount |
In case the amount in Manager is over your actual bank account, you can create this entry in reverse.

Not a fan of this kind of accounting
You really need to find the error or errors and correct them

@Ealfardan is absolutely correct. I should have mentioned that part. In an ideal world you find the cause of the discrepancy, but unfortunately the world is not always ideal.
In practice I use bank imports so reconciliation errors are now extremely rare and much easier to find if they ever occur.
So a better solution imo.
Good call, @Patch. But I think @makinselure is concerned with an ancient error, but I may be wrong.
