Short answer

How can I reconcile bank statements using AI?

Your AI uses Brankas to pull live transaction data and current balances to compare against your internal records. This identifies missing entries or amount mismatches automatically. You get a clear list of discrepancies to review.

Audit outcomes

Where your data lands.

The AI processes raw banking data into actionable audit results.

MATCHED

Verified transactions

The AI confirms that bank entries match your ledger. These are marked as reconciled and cleared from your task list.

MISMATCH

Discrepancy alerts

When amounts don't align, the AI flags the specific transaction. You receive a report detailing the exact difference found.

MISSING

Unaccounted entries

The AI finds bank transactions that have no corresponding record in your system. It highlights these gaps for your review.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

Complex errors or suspicious activity are sent to you. The AI stops and waits for your decision on how to handle these items.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI moves from raw data retrieval to final audit reporting.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI move money between my accounts?

    No. The AI can only read balances and transaction data. It cannot initiate transfers or change any account settings.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically fix errors in my ledger?

    No. The AI identifies discrepancies and flags them for you, but it cannot write to or modify your external accounting software.

  • 03

    How often can the AI pull new data?

    The AI pulls data whenever you ask it to via a prompt. It uses the real-time tools provided by Brankas.

  • 04

    Can I use this to audit multiple banks at once?

    Yes. As long as the accounts are connected through Brankas, your AI can compare data across different institutions.

  • 05

    What happens if a transaction is missing?

    The AI will flag the transaction as a mismatch and present it to you for manual investigation.
