Hi David,

The answer to the above is "it depends on your tax authorities", if they have 
any requirement to know about your group.

for my personal accounts, I would let Sept & Oct reconcilliations be off by 
£8, knowing that it will come good in Nov.  Alternatively, you could split the 
deposit into £120 to match the bank, and stick a future dated £8 transaction 
with notes about bank errors and it being a delayed sept. txn..

I'd also be glad that I'd spotted the bank's mistake, and if GC had been 
involved in showing their error, I would be happy that I hadn't just 
downloaded their transaction list and imported it to GC.

HTH,
Maf.
