About Bank Reconciliation

If your bank balance and your books disagree, one of them is wrong and you need to know which. We compare each bank statement with your cash book, explain every difference and prepare the statement your auditor and lender expect.

What is Bank Reconciliation?

Bank reconciliation compares the bank statement with the bank ledger in your books. Differences usually fall into a few groups: cheques issued but not yet cleared, cheques deposited but not yet credited, direct bank charges and interest not yet booked, customer receipts by UPI or NEFT not recognised, and plain errors or duplicates.

We trace each difference to a document, post corrections in the books and prepare a Bank Reconciliation Statement showing balance as per books, balance as per bank and the items between them. For OD and cash credit accounts we also check interest and charges against the sanction terms.

Who needs this service?

You may need it if any of these describe you.

  • Businesses with multiple current accounts, OD or cash credit limits
  • Companies and LLPs preparing for statutory audit or bank review
  • Shops and clinics receiving many UPI, card and cash deposits
  • Owners who suspect missing receipts, double entries or unrecorded charges
  • Firms whose books were written up from vouchers and never tied to the bank
