BANK RECONCILIATION
• An organisation’s Bank Account balance
often differs from the balance shown on the
Bank Statement prepared by the bank.
• Why?
2. UNIT 3C MY CLUB 2
• Cheques paid to creditors who may hold on to
them before taking them to the bank days later
• Deposits made into the bank on or near the date
the statement is prepared ie too late to be
included
• If so, they will be included in the next
statement
THINGS THE BANK MAY NOT KNOW YET
3. UNIT 3C MY CLUB 3
THINGS THE ORGANISATION MAY NOT
KNOW YET
• Standing orders and direct debits can be
forgotten about but the bank always
remembers them
• How much Bank Charges are - until the
bank tells them in the statement
• Deposits made straight through the bank
rather than to the organisation (BGCs)
4. UNIT 3C MY CLUB 4
THINGS TO REMEMBER
• The Bank Statement and the Bank Account
are a mirror image of each other
ie payments made are recorded in the credit
column of the bank account but the bank
shows them in the debit column of the
statement
receipts are shown in the debit column of
the bank account but appear in the credit
column of the bank statement
5. UNIT 3C MY CLUB 5
HOW TO RECONCILE THE TWO
• Step 1
Find the differences by ticking off all the
matching items in the bank statement and bank
account and circle the items for which there is
no match
• Step 2
Update the bank account using the circled
items in the statement
• Step 3
Prepare a bank reconciliation statement using
the circled items in the bank account
