With the introduction of online banking, transactions often enter my register through a bank import instead of through manual entry of merchant receipts. This leaves me open to bank errors, unexpected fees, erroneous transaction amounts, and fraudulent transactions. I need a way to tell which transactions I have compared against the merchant receipt.

The risk is exacerbated because GnuCash imports OFX files in the reconciled "c" state. A fraudulent transaction looks in the register like a transaction I have manually entered and checked as cleared.

I propose an optional column: "V" for verified. I would only put an X in this column on transactions that I have verified against a merchant receipt. That would make it easy to identify transactions reported by my bank which I did not initiate. It would also help me catch errors in purchase amount.
