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.
Debit and credit rules:
- Debit an increase in asset account, increase in expense account, decrease in liability account, and decrease in
stockholders’ equity accounts. - Credit decrease in asset account, increase in revenue account, increase in liability account, and increase in stockholders’ equity accounts.
To prepare: Bank reconciliation of Company SI as at July 31.

Determine the balance per company’s book, June 30
Explanation of Solution
- The deposits which are not recorded by the bank are referred to as deposits in transit. Since the deposits in transit are not reflected on the bank statement, the company should add deposits in transit to cash balance per bank, while preparation of
bank reconciliation statement . - Outstanding checks are the checks that are issued by the company, but not yet paid by the bank. When the check is issued for payment, the company deducts the cash balance immediately. But the bank deducts only when the cash is paid for the issued check. So, company deducts the cash balance per bank to remove the differences.
- Notes receivable being collected by bank, is credited to bank account. But the company is not aware of it. So, while preparing bank reconciliation statement, company should add the amount to the cash balance per books.
- Error in recording checks and banks deducting service charge for the services rendered like lock box rental, or printed checks. But the company is not aware of such deductions. So, company deducts the cash balance per books while bank reconciliation preparation.

Table (2)
- Cash is an asset account. The amount is increased because bank collected note receivable, and an increase in assets should be debited.
- Notes Receivable is an asset account. The amount has decreased because the amount to be received is collected by the bank, and, a decrease in assets should be credited.
- Interest revenue is a revenue account and increases the stockholders’ equity. Thus, increases in the stockholders’ equity should be credited.
- Sales is revenue and increases the stockholders’ equity. So, credit the same.
- Accounts payable is a liability and decreased as there is receipt of cash. So, credit accounts payable account.
Prepare journal entry to record book error amount.

Accounts receivable is an asset account. It is increased and thus, current asset is increased and debited.- Miscellaneous expenses are expenses account and decrease the stockholders’ equity. Thus, decrease in the stockholders’ equity should be debited.
- Cash is an asset account. The amount is decreased to pay the under-paid check, and a decrease in asset is credited.
