##### Balance Assertions ##### Balance Assertions
hledger will parse and ignore ledger-style hledger supports ledger-style
[balance assertions](http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Balance-assertions). [balance assertions](http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Balance-assertions)
These look like `=CURRENTBALANCE` following a posting's amount. in journal files.
These look like `=EXPECTEDBALANCE` following a posting's amount. Eg in
this example we assert the expected balance in accounts a and after
each posting:
2013/1/1
a $1 =$1
b =$-1
2013/1/2
a $1 =$2
b $-1 =$-2
After reading a journal file, hledger will check all balance
assertions and report an error if any of them fail. Balance assertions
can protect you from, eg, inadvertently disrupting reconciled balances
while cleaning up old entries. Be aware that they may have some impact
on parsing performance.
