Cambridge IGCSE Accounting(0452)/O Level Principles of Accounts(7110) Notes: Bank Reconciliation Statement Example
- As discussed here preparing a bank reconciliation statement involves three steps:
- Obtaining the current bank statement
- Updating the Cash Book
- Preparing the Bank reconciliation statement
- Now we will look at an example:
Draw up a bank reconciliation statement, after writing the cash book up to date, ascertaining the balance on the bank statement, from the following as on 31 March 20X9:
Cash at bank as per bank column of the cash book (Dr) | 2740 |
Bankings made but not yet entered on bank statement | 410 |
Bank charges on bank statement but not yet in cash book | 32 |
Unpresented cheques W Mawoyo | 131 |
Standing order to DSTV Ltd entered on bank statement, but not in cash book | 93 |
Credit transfer from B Badza entered on bank statement, but not yet in cash book | 201 |
Solution
- First we need to updated the Cash Book
Cash Book | ||||||
31 March | Balance b/d | 2740 | 31 March | Bank Charges | 32 | |
31 March | B Badza | 201 | 31 March | DSTV Ltd | 93 | |
31 March | Balance c/d | 2816 | ||||
2941 | 2941 |
- Now that we have an updated balance we prepare the reconciliation statement
Bank Reconciliation Statement as at 31 March | |
Balance as per Cash Book | 2816 |
Add unpresented cheques: W Mawoyo |
|
2947 | |
Less uncredited lodgements | (410) |
Balance as per bank statement | 2537 |
- If everything in our books is accurate we would expect the bank statement to show this balance
