Warn user if online balance is unequal to current balance

Hi,

I noticed only today that I must have made months ago a mistake with my accounting. 20 EUR had slipped my tired eyes...

Wouldn't it make sense to warn the user if the currently downloaded online balance is unequal to the actual balance of an account?!

Greets,
Marko

Hi Marko,

That is the whole reason to reconcile the account on a regular basis.  
Depending on the account type, the online and local balance will often  
not be the same, such as if you enter a check in KMM but it has not yet  
been cleared by your bank.  I reconcile my accounts each time I receive  
a statement, and I have caught (and been able to fix) a number of  
problems of this type.
