About Lesson

As we mentioned, the bank statements do not always equal what we expect based on the trial balance – Bank reconciliations are what we use to ensure the accounting records are accurate.


bank reconciliation is the process of matching the balances in the accounting records to the corresponding information on a bank statement or physical cash count. Typically done at the end of each month.

Objectives: 

  • Determine the differences between the two balances, and record required changes to the accounting records as appropriate.
  • Identify any errors or omissions made in the cash receipts and disbursement processes throughout the month and record required corrections

Qs: Has anyone done a bank reconciliation before? Can you give some details to your classmates?
