What Bank Reconciliation Involves
Bank reconciliation is the process of comparing your internal financial records with official bank and credit card statements to ensure every transaction is properly recorded. Without regular reconciliation, businesses may experience duplicate entries, missing transactions, or incorrect balances that affect financial reporting.
Our reconciliation process typically includes:
• Matching accounting records with bank statements
• Reviewing credit card transactions
• Identifying missing or duplicate entries
• Investigating discrepancies between records and statements
• Updating ledger balances when adjustments are required
This process helps ensure your financial records remain accurate and reliable.
Bank Reconciliation as Part of Monthly Bookkeeping
