You can edit the reconciled date of the transactions. Go to File => Maintenance => Corrections, and search for transactions with a bank reconciled date of 12/03/2013, then double click each one and change the date to the date you meant to reconcile to.
However, in most cases it won't affect your figures in any way*, so personally I wouldn't worry about it. Chalk it up as something to be careful of in future.
* Possibly, if the mistake crosses a year end boundary, your year end bank reconciliation reports might be messed up - but that's the only thing that springs to mind where it might be worth fixing it.

I'm hoping this is a relatively easy correction to make.
I just reconciled a load of transactions against the bank statement of a few weeks back. No problem with the figures, but I accidentally put today's date as the date of the statement, or rather, forgot to put in the correct date.
Is there a way of editing this? I am using Sage 2010.
Thank you for your reply, Vince. Changing the date transaction by transaction was something I had not thought of, but it would indeed have been more effort than it was worth. I had hoped that there would be some magic one-off "fix"where I could do it at a stroke! Sadly, Sage does not often seem to work that way, and I suppose the manufacturers would say that is a feature not a bug.
In the end I was rather bothered by that wrong date, and fortunately I had backed up only a few transactions before I made the error. So I restored the previous backup and entered the information again, before doing a bank reconciliation with the correct date.
