This is where bank reconciliations come in. When you enter a bank transaction into your file, you don't set the cleared flag (yet). When you receive your bank statement, you go through it and for each line in the bank statement that matches an entry in your ledger file, you set the cleared flag. You also enter (and clear) any lines in the bank statement (interest, fees etc) that are not already in your ledger file. If you then run your report on the ledger file with the -C option set, all of the transactions listed should match those in the bank statement and the two totals should match. By running the report with the -U option set, you should see all of the transactions that have not yet been processed by the bank.
