Is there a recommended method for reconciling the cost basis
of stocks that are still held? Once a stock is sold it is
easy to look at the G/L report in bivio and reconcile this
with the broker's information. Getting at the cost basis for
stocks still held only seems available in the transitions
data for that security. Does exporting the transaction data
to a csv file and sorting out the purchases seem like the
best approach? Is it even important to reconcile the cost
basis when the stock is still held?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Bivio provides an Investment Lot Cost Basis report under the Report Date group of reports. You should verify that it agrees with the records at your brokerage.
