Explanation

Escrow account reconciliation involves regularly (typically monthly) comparing the broker's escrow ledger records against the actual bank statement balance to ensure all client funds are properly held and accounted for. Delaware requires brokers to maintain accurate escrow records. Reconciliation failures — undetected shortfalls or overages — can indicate improper handling of client funds.
