Reconcile two records
Match a bank export against a ledger and explain every difference.
Fill it in
Bank export and internal ledger.
Which month.
Treat sub-cent differences as matched.
Your prompt
Reconcile the records in for [your period]. Match on amount and date first, then on description similarity, and report each category separately: matched, matched with a difference, in one but not the other. A reconciliation that presents one number of "unmatched" is unusable, because the fixes are different for each kind. Treat sub-cent differences as matched, and say how many you absorbed that way. For every unmatched item, give the likely explanation: timing, a fee taken at the bank end, a duplicate, or a genuine miss. Timing differences are most of them and are not errors. End with the arithmetic: opening, plus matched, plus adjustments, equals closing. If it does not tie, say so plainly rather than presenting a balanced-looking summary.

Why this works
A reconciliation that reports one number of "unmatched" is unusable, because the fix differs per kind. This separates matched, matched-with-a-difference, and missing on each side, and gives the likely explanation for each, most of which turn out to be timing.
