Gyle,

I check both the reconciliation date and that date's balance. There are
discrepancies between the purchase date entered in GnuCash and when the
transaction cleared the bank but those are immaterial.

As an aside, I've used GnuCash for more than two decades, starting in 1997.
These large, sporatic discrepancies appeared only a few years ago, long
after I moved my business and personal accounts to my current bank. I did
catch the bank several years ago for charging me twice for the same Amazon
purchase and my banker had that quickly fixed. That was the only obvious
error I've seen.

Thanks,

Rich
