And I'll raise that another $0.02

You need to SEE the discrepancies and make sense out of them.

Bank errors (misread of check, for example, but I have experienced one 
"transit" error)

PS -- that said, I do manual reconciliation for all my orgs. For all of 
them, six transactions would be a busy month. If instead there were 60, 
I'd be using the automated.
