QUESTION 5(a)

Q Outline four reasons why it is important to undertake bank reconciliation. (4 marks)
A

Solution


Reason why its important to undertake a bank reconciliation

➢ To discover cheques not recorded

➢ Make sure the transaction is accurate and all the amounts are recorded correctly.

➢ Managing risk such as fraud and embezzlement

➢ To discover bank errors

➢ Ensuring the existence of a transaction (i.e. what you see on your bank statement is reflected in your accounting system and vice versa)

➢ Tracking interest and fees - A regular bank reconciliation allows you to keep track of any interest, fees or penalties that the bank may add to your account. You can then add or subtract this amount from your book.

From the ledger balance, items recorded in the ledger but not accounted by the bank are deducted as uncredited checks, and items deducted but not processed by the bank are added as bounce checks.
Similarly, items deducted from the bank and not yet posted to the cash book are deducted from the cash book. Standing orders also add items to your bank balance that have been credited by the bank but not posted on the debit side of the cash book.
