7. Click OK to finalise the reconciliation. A message appears 'Success - Items Reconciled'.The entries previously marked C for Confirmed are now marked R for Reconciled.

8. If the Reconciliation field is not zero a message appears:
   'The current balance including ticked items does not agree with your bank statement. Do you want to save your current ticked items so you can come back to them later?'

   Answer 'No' to this message to remain in the Bank Reconcilation screen to fully reconcile the entries.
