Reconciling splits.

[Buddha Buck]

My practice is to leave it unreconciled and uncleared. There isn't an
external account that you could reconcile it with. If the expense account
was tied to some external vendor whom I regularly did business with and
received statements from (like, say, a doctor, a landlord, an insurance
agency, etc) then I could see reconciling it.

It doesn't hurt anything to completely ignore the reconciliation feature;
it just means it's harder to catch errors between you and your bank.
