Questions

How is the difference calculated?

Statement balance minus your books, in cents. There is no rounding. $1,250.50 minus $1,200.00 is $50.50.

Do the tick boxes change the number?

No. They record which month-end steps you have done. The result shows how many of the six steps are ticked, and the difference is only the two balances.

What is copied and downloaded?

Both balances, the difference, and every step marked yes or no.
