I have used CA2 and have used naic accounting for 10 years
and am trying out Bivio. I don't find a cash journal. What
do you use to find errors between your valuation statement
and the brokerage account.

There are several reports which can be used to help you reconcile
your books. The most important report is your valuation statement:

https://www.bivio.com/my-club-site/accounting/reports/valuation

Enter the date of your bank and/or broker statement on your reports
page:

https://www.bivio.com/my-club-site/accounting/reports

Make sure the cash balances agree with your bank and/or broker.

Compare the valuation statement with the bank and/or broker statements
as far back as necessary to determine the last time your records
balanced.

From there you can review the transactions in your bivio records
against the transactions reported by your bank and/or broker to see
what is missing.

To review the transactions for a particular account, you can go
to your Accounting > Accounts page and click on the name of the
account you'd like to reconcile. Make sure the transaction dates
match your statements exactly.

Another useful report is the Transaction History:

https://www.bivio.com/my-club-site/accounting/reports/transaction-history

This lists all transactions during a specified time period. It
might be the account is incorrect. Go to your Account Detail
page and edit the account.
