How can you manually clear transactions that don't appear on a statement?

Transactions that do not appear on a statement can be manually cleared in the check register by marking them as cleared. This process involves updating the status of individual transactions within your accounting system to reflect that they have been reconciled, even if they are not listed on the official bank statement.

This feature is vital for maintaining accurate financial records, as it helps ensure that your internal accounts match your bank records over time. By marking transactions as cleared, you are organizing your bank reconciliation process more effectively, providing a clearer picture of your cash flow and financial position.

The other options suggest different approaches, such as contacting the bank or making adjustments to the statement date, which might not directly allow the clearing of transactions within the system itself. Understanding how to use the check register to mark transactions as cleared enables you to take control of your reconciliation without waiting for changes from your bank.
