CODA — old balance ± movements ≠ new balance

An ordinary Belgian statement — one movement short. The 2.1 records add up to 1 000.00 − 250.00 + 1 500.00 = 2 250.00, but the "8" new-balance record declares 2 200.00: 50.00 of booked movement never made it into the file. This is the check that catches a truncated CODA, a dropped record or a mis-read debit/credit sign, and it is the reason the previous sample must NOT be checked the same way.

How we know these results hold

Every file in this library is run through the site's own validator on each build. The expected result stated above is asserted by an automated test — if a file stopped matching what this page claims, the build would fail. Two inherited fixtures were repaired this way before publication: three IBANs failed the mod-97 check and several names used characters outside the basic SEPA character set.
