[GNC] Credit card reconciliation shows wrong total

[John Ralls]

Record an adjustment transaction for the difference.

I’d also have a visit with my bank branch manager along the lines of “this is a small amount and in my favor, but on principle there should be no magic changes, no matter for how small, in my balance without a corresponding transaction on the statement. This indicates a failure of this bank’s accounting controls. What are you going to do to fix it?

John Ralls

>> The difference between GnuCash's starting balance and your statement’s starting balance indicates that the CHF 0.02 difference is from a previous reconciliation. Did your previous statement have a CHF 1654.20 ending balance?
