1, Bank statement
Each month the bank sends the depositor a bank statement detailing the activities that
have taken piace in the account during the month. The statement shows
the balance in the account at the beginning of the month
the individual deposits received
cheques that have been presented and paid during the month
any other adjustments made, e.g. bank charges, bank interest
account balance at month-end
The balance in the account represents a liability on the part of the bank and is therefore
reflected on the bank statement by a credit balance. A debit month-end balance on the
bank statement thus represents an overdraft position.
2. Process of bank reconciliation
Comparing Bank Statement with Cash Book
Our cash book and the bank statement as on a particular date will seldom agree. To
prove the accuracy of both records, therefore, itis necessary to compare them, jsolate
factors that cause @ variance in the balances, and satisfy ourselves that if these factors
“are taken into account, the two sets of records will be in agreement.
To formalise this process of reconciliation, a bank reconciliation statement is prepared.
