This is strange to me for sure. I have printed statements and pdf files and then I have a csv file which has a transaction on a specific date but that does not appear on either the statement or the pdf version.
Of course I don't know how to account for this since I'm rather new to the whole idea of double entry accounting but also I now have to call up the financial institution and ask them for more details as to why it is there and what it means and perhaps they can give me a clue as to where it came from or if it is just a mistake that happened later and was somehow fixed some other place and I can ignore it (likely since it was a long enough time ago that I won't get a correction but also it was long enough ago I have no memory of that time frame or if I deposited the money or what). Anyways, it was an odd amount of money for me to deposit if I really did that (I have no receipt for it). So what do you do? Set up a special Error Account? For the moment I put a note on it and also commented it out so it doesn't mess up any further attempts at comparing the statements to the electronic versions of things and that is what I'm doing now working through all the transactions and making sure they're properly classified. The funny thing is, had I not dumped out the CSV file to being with I'd have never seen this at all and the fact that I didn't have a problem with the statement at the time I got it in the mail also likely means this is an error that happened later and one not consequential to me. I'm still going to call them next week because I have to change a few things anyways so it will be a part of that conversation. Plus it lets them know I'm watching them a bit more closely now... ;) I have a few other errors from long ago that were never tracked down (off by a penny, sometimes a 5 dollar mistake, once a 10 dollar but nothing like the above (which is several hundred). Any similar experiences by anyone else here? Did you ever find such a thing stuck in your account after the fact and no mention to you what happened? Or?
