Reconciliation sounds procedural, but the underlying point is trust. Do the records and the bank still make sense together?
Explanation
Without reconciliation, invoices, payments, settlements, and expenses can drift apart from actual money movement. That weakens reporting and increases correction work later.

What to do in practice
Import the bank activity, match what you can, and review unresolved items before month end rather than letting them accumulate.
