I basically got income account, expenses account then all going to one account named (Cash In Hand) and it all works out well even all Reconciled correctly so this account is working fine and is in a separate folder for my business as already suggested and yes I totally understand how this works and can see the logic and how it calculates.

I have repeated this for the next 3 accounts hence like my 4 bank statements they all work out with no problems. i.e. on every account i have income and expenses hence 4 accounts and 4 lots of income and expense one of each for each account.
