[GNC] Reconciling Accounts, Month 6, but not Months 1-5?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Derek answered your first question.

To answer your last question,

Yes, you can simply mark items as cleared if you know that is their status.

When you are ready to do reconciliation from the beginning of your book 
*for that account* to whatever your first closing date might be, then 
most of that work will be done for you and the process will just be a 
matter of review and checking the math.

Of course, there is no requirement you reconcile on a month-by-month 
basis. You can certainly reconcile an entire year at once or more (or 
less) if you like, as long as you know exactly what that means, and what 
it is in fact, you are doing.

Regards,
Adrien
