False statement

Explanation of Solution

Bank reconciliation:

Bank statement is prepared by bank. The company maintains its own records from its perspective. This is why the cash balance per bank and cash balance per books seldom agree. Bank reconciliation is the statement prepared by company to remove the differences and disagreement between cash balance per bank and cash balance per books.

The main purpose of the bank reconciliation statement is to bring the book balance and bank balance into agreement.

Therefore, the given statement “The primary purpose of bank reconciliation is to detect and correct errors made by the bank in its records” is false.
