Hi

I'm not sure what you're asking about as there seem to be a few topics mixed here.

Which Accounts to Use

The demo chart of accounts is setup as a guide. It is quite comprehensive though tends to favour the US system. Depending on which country you are in – you can load your own accounts for that country.  (An accountant should be able to help you identify which accounts you need.)

Bank Reconciliation

There are a couple of ways for you to handle it.
1. You can just use a GL account that represents your bank account and manage the transactions coming in and going out
2. You can setup a Financial Account to represent your bank account and this can be linked to the GL account that represents your bank account. The Financial Account functionality includes reconciliation so that you can balance against any bank statements you receive (e.g. at the end of the month)

Derecognition
By this I'm guessing that you mean that you've had an asset of some type, that has been depreciated and at some point you want either 'it be written off' or no longer seen as an asset. If its just about being written off then the standard depreciation flow and accounts should work for you.

If its being transferred out of being an asset part way through its life then the adjustment transactions you make depend on the asset itself and the impact of the status change.

I hope this helps.

Thanks
