BANK RECONCILIATION

STATEMENT
•In the books of a business, funds paid
into and out of bank are entered into
the bank columns of the Cash Book. At
the same time, the bank will also be
recording the flows of funds into and
out of the business cash account
•The entries appearing on a business's
bank statement should be exactly be the
same as those in the business cash book.
The balance shown by the bank statement
should be the same as the cash book
balance
•There may be items paid into or out of the business
bank account which have not been recorded in the
Cash Book. And there may be items entered in the
Cash Book that have not yet been entered in the
bank’s records of the account. To see if any of these
things have happened, the Cash Book entries need
to be compared to the record of the account held by
the bank. Therefore this is done by making bank
reconciliation.
What causes the difference between the cash
book balance and bank statement balance?
i. Outstanding cheques/unpresented chq
Cheques drawn and entered in cash book
but not presented at bank for payment.
ii.Uncredited cheques
Cheques received and entered in cash
book but not credited by bank
. Standing
iii orders
The order by the account holder to bank to
make regular payments which are not yet
reported in the cash book.
iv. Other omission including:

•Bank charges
•Bill of exchange, other payments.
•Dishonored cheques
Adjusting a cash book
After comparing the cash book and
bank statement there are some items
which may miss on either sides. The
cash book should be adjusted by
recording the missing items to have the
correct cash book balance
Items to reconcile the correct cash book
balance.
i) Payments made into the account or from the
account by way of standing order, which have not
yet been entered in the cash book.
ii) Dividends received (on investments held by
the business), paid direct into the bank account
but not yet entered in the cash book.
iii) Bank interest and bank charges, not yet
entered in the cash book

•At 30 September 2006, the balance in the
cash book of Wordsworth Co was $805.15
debit. A bank statement on 30 September
2006 showed Wordsworth Co to be in credit
by $1,112.30.
•On investigation of the difference between the
two sums, it was established that:
(a) The cash book had been undercast by
$90.00 on the debit side*.
b) Cheques paid in not yet credited by the bank
amounted to $208.20, called outstanding
lodgments.
c) Cheques drawn not yet presented to the bank
amounted to $425.35 called unpresented
cheques.
i) Adjust the cash book balance
ii) Prepare a statement reconciling the balance
per bank statement to the balance per cash book.
