bank reconciliation part 1 George here
[3]
is about to perform a bank
[5]
reconciliation the procedure for doing
[7]
this is as follows step 1 firstly we
[11]
have to tick off the bank statement to
[13]
the cash book this involves identifying
[15]
each item recorded on the bank statement
[18]
that also appears in the cash book this
[22]
is done by checking the amounts and
[23]
details on the statement and in the cash
[26]
book where amounts and details
[28]
correspond we tick off the items on both
[31]
the statement and the cash book so the
[35]
first item shown on the bank statement
[37]
that is also in the cash book is check
[40]
number 0 1 1 2 9 1 which is a payment
[44]
we've made 2spooky timers so we need to
[46]
tick off both of the entries as being
[49]
matched we simply carry on going through
[51]
all of the receipts and payments and
[53]
tick off all of the ones that are shown
[55]
in both the bank statement and the cash
[58]
book
[66]
you
[95]
once we've ticked off all the items that
[98]
we can we move on to the next step so
[101]
for step two we now need to update the
[104]
cash book for all the items that appear
[106]
on the bank statement but are not shown
[109]
in the cash book this typically includes
[112]
items such as standing orders direct
[115]
debits bank charges and interest we
[118]
don't record them in the cash book until
[120]
the bank statement arrives as we won't
[123]
be certain about the details dates and
[125]
amounts until we actually see them on
[127]
the statement so we need to find all the
[131]
items on the bank statement that we
[133]
didn't take off for each one we need to
[135]
write it up in the cash book the first
[138]
item relates to a Direct Debit payment
[140]
2sw telephone services for 220 pounds
[144]
and 15 P so this is the first entry to
[147]
record in the cash book once all the
[150]
untyped items on the statement have been
[152]
written up in the cash book the cash
[155]
book should be complete
[164]
we then need to balance off the cash
[167]
book to do this we need to identify
[169]
which side of the cash book is the
[171]
greatest in terms of monetary value the
[174]
receipt side in this instance indicating
[177]
that we have money in the bank we total
[179]
up the receipt side and the thicker we
[181]
arrive at is immediately recorded as a
[184]
total in both the receipts and payments
[186]
side the items on the payment side of
[189]
the cash book do not currently add up to
[192]
the total we have just recorded so to
[194]
rectify this we need to calculate a
[197]
balancing figure so add up the amounts
[200]
on the payment side and deduct the
[203]
figure from the total this figure will
[205]
become your balance carry down figure
[207]
which in this instance is 706 pounds and
[211]
18 P we transfer this figure to the
[214]
receipt side of the cash book below the
[216]
total and this brought down figure
[219]
represents the amount we actually have
[221]
in the bank
[222]
ie 706 pounds and 18 P
[227]
step three is to produce a
[229]
reconciliation to ensure that what we
[232]
think is in our bank account agrees with
[235]
what the bank thinks we have in our bank
[236]
account the only differences should be
[239]
one outstanding checks ie money we've
[243]
paid out but hasn't cleared yet meaning
[246]
that these payments do not appear on the
[248]
bank statement yet and two unrecorded
[251]
lodgements ie money that we've paid it
[254]
into our bank account eg from sales but
[257]
hasn't cleared yet meaning that these
[259]
receipts do not appear on the bank
[261]
statement yet these are known as timing
[264]
differences we should always look out
[267]
for errors which are more likely to be
[269]
in the cash book and the bank statement
[271]
is much more likely to be accurate the
[274]
rest of this step is shown in the next
