Bank Statement Period Continuity Check

Expose a gap or overlap between reconciliation statement periods. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Last reconciled statement ending date, next statement start/end, bank account ID and coverage evidence.

How it works

1. Match periods to the same bank account.
2. Compare next start with the day after last ending date as documented.
3. List gaps and overlaps without changing the entered ending balance.
4. Return source-period questions before transaction reconciliation.

The output

account | previous_end | next_start | gap_days | overlap | missing_statement

Worked fictional example

Fictional previous period ends Sep 30 and next starts Oct 3. Oct 1-2 lack coverage. A matching ending balance does not fill that two-day gap. Unknown prior statement date remains held.
