As Mollie Carter knows, keeping a balanced checkbook is central to good money management. Several ways to keep a balanced and accurate checkbook include:

Matching All Entries

When balancing your checkbook, be sure to compare the entries in your checkbook register with the transactions in your monthly statement. When errors are noticed, be sure to check for the possibility of incorrect entries.

Verify Other Transactions Listed on Your Statement

Be sure to comb through each monthly statement to verify additional withdrawals, those made through other means, are being charged for the amounts actually withdrawn.
