Near the top of every statement you will see a period, shown as a start date and an end date. These two dates do more than label the document, they define precisely which activity the statement captures.
How the dates work
A statement includes the movements that fall within its period and excludes anything before the start date or after the end date. Activity before the start is already reflected in the opening position carried over from the previous statement, and activity after the end date will appear on the next one.
Why this matters for reconciling
- The closing position of one statement becomes the opening position of the next, so your records should run continuously with no gaps.
- If a transaction seems to be missing, check whether its date falls just outside the period, in which case it belongs on the neighbouring statement.
- When matching to your books, line up your own date filter with the statement period to avoid double counting.
If periods do not seem to join up
Statements are designed to chain together, so the closing position of one should equal the opening position of the next. If they ever appear not to, contact our support team with both statement references. As your facility is a company account with Credicorp, anyone you authorise can raise the query on the company's behalf.
