The purpose of a bank reconciliation is to ensure both the bank and your company’s transactions are in synch for a given period. Differences may occur, for example, because a check or a list of checks issued by the organization has not been presented to the bank; a banking transaction such as a credit received, or a charge made by the bank has not yet been recorded in the organization’s books; a deposit that was made by your company has not yet been recorded by the bank; or either the bank or your organization has made an error. Banks rarely make mistakes, but they do – the tellers do!
Thus, it is very important to reconcile your account as soon as you receive your bank’s statement. Bank reconciliations do not have to be tedious; you can allow your computer to do the work for you by setting up a spreadsheet with all your transactions and then reconciling them against your bank’s transactions. You can also use software such as QuickBooks, which allows you to enter all your information and transactions, and reconcile them against your bank’s statement on a monthly basis – seamlessly.
