It aims to ensure that the recorded transactions in the organization’s books match the transactions reported by the bank. During bank reconciliation, various factors are considered, including deposits, withdrawals, outstanding checks, and bank charges or credits. By performing bank reconciliations regularly, businesses and non-profits can identify any discrepancies or errors in their financial records, such as unrecorded transactions, duplicate entries, or fraudulent activities. This process not only helps in maintaining accurate financial records but also ensures the integrity and reliability of the financial statements.
