Chances are a transaction has been modified (or deleted) since you last
balanced. My suggestion would be to accept the starting balance that Money
gives you and then enter the ending balance from your statement. Go through
the transactions from your statement, clearing them as appropriate. At the
end of the process, if you're not balanced, the amount you're off may give
you a clue as to which transaction(s) might've thrown the starting balance
off and you can proceed from there, as appropriate.

Alternatively, you can backtrack through your previous statements and
double-check that all transactions are present and accounted for and are
marked as "Reconciled" prior to resuming the balancing process for your
current statement.

Yes, I am attempting to reconcile the account but receive
the message: 'The starting balance entered from your
statement does not match the starting balance calculated
from your Money records.' None of the two scenarios apply -
I haven't skipped a statement nor are any transactions
missing from the register.

Thank you.

The previous reconciled balance is not stored by Money, but is calculated by
Money when you start the balancing process by taking the opening account
balance (as found in account details) and adjusting it by the amounts of
reconciled withdrawals and deposits.

Is there a problem you're trying to resolve?

How do you find the previous reconciled balance amount if
the amount has inadvertently been changed?
