First of all get the ledger of all the accounts and maintain trial balance if it is not balance then try to find out the errors if it is not found then can maintain the suspense account. Likewise we can collect all the assets in assets side and capital and liabilities in the same side which will be equal.

you can reconcile balance sheet items but in Tb as its included Balance sheet items and income statement accounts, in income statement items u r not reconciling instead u doing variance analysis comparing to last months or year expenses. easy way to reconcile the balance sheet items is to have schedule for each and every item. in details bank and supplier reconciliation, AP and AR ageing reports, schedule of accruals, prepayment schedule, related party confirmations, deposits schedules, FA schedules etc are a part of this you compare with system generated BS..
