I've only removed the memos.
A000263 is the brokerage account in question
A000176 is the interest category
A000175 is the dividends category
A000696 is the account for the equity paying the dividend

I don't see anything that would introduce any rounding issues.

Anything else I can check or look for?

Thanks.
