How the running balance check catches errors before your ledger does
Jun 18, 2025
Every row is tested against the balance the bank printed beside it. A line that breaks the chain is flagged rather than quietly shipped into your books.
Every statement carries its own proof. Each row prints a closing balance, and that balance should equal the one above it plus or minus the amount on the line. When it does not, something has been read wrong.
The converter runs that check on every row before you see the table. A line that breaks the chain is flagged rather than quietly shipped, so a split description or a misread amount surfaces where you can fix it instead of hiding in your ledger.
You still get the final say. The whole table is editable, so you correct the flagged row, watch the balance carry again, and export a file that ties out on the first import.
