3. RECONCILING THE BANK ACCOUNT Reconciliation is necessary because the balance per bank and balance per books are seldom in agreement due to time lags and errors. A bank reconciliation should be prepared by an employee who has no other responsibilities pertaining to cash.

4. Terms Deposits in transit Deposits recorded by depositor that have not been recorded by bank Outstanding cheques Cheques written (issued) and recorded by company that have not been presented to/paid by bank Adjusted balance Reconciled or correct cash balance

5. Terms Debit memoranda Charges against depositor’s account (e.g. service charges, RC (returned)/NSF (insufficient funds) cheques) Credit memoranda Amounts that increase depositor’s account (e.g., interest earned)

6. Bank Reconciliation Procedures $ Per Bank Statement -outstanding cheques +deposits in transit +/- bank errors = correct cash amount $ Per Books -NSF cheques -cheque printing or other service charges +notes collected by bank +/- book errors = correct cash amount Illustration 8-11
