    Bank reconciliation for Miller Co. for August 31

    Amount in $ Amount in $

    Bank statement Balance 3,868

    Add;

    Deposits in transit 743

    Bank service charge 115

    Error in check for supplies 9 867

    Deduct;

    Outstanding checks 764

    Cash account balance 3,971

    Explanation:

    The bank reconciliation is one done between the balance per the books and balance per the bank statement. This is usually as a result of transactions known as reconciling items.

    These are items that have either been recognized in books but yet to be recorded by the bank or vice versa, transactions recorded wrongly by one of the parties etc.

    To reconcile the two balance moving from the bank statement balance to the cash account balance;

    Deposit in transit has been debited to the cash balance hence it will be added to the bank. Bank service charge has been deducted from the bank and will be added back.

    The erroneous recorded of the check shows that the cash account balance was under credited by $9 hence it will added to the bank statement balance. The outstanding check has been deducted from the cash balance and will be deducted from the bank statement balance.
