    Bank reconciliation for Candace Co. for May 31

    Amount in $ Amount in $

    Balance per Bank statement 2,936

    Less;

    Outstanding checks (465)

    Add;

    Deposits in transit 655

    Bank charge 50

    Erroneous check to supplier 18 723

    Balance per cash account 3,194

    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.

    The outstanding checks has been deducted from the cash book hence it will be deducted from the bank statement balance in the reconciliation statement.

    The bank charges is yet to be recorded in the cash books as a deduction hence it will be added back to the bank statement balance in the reconciliation statement.

    The bank deposit has been recorded as an inflow in the cash balance hence it will be added to the bank balance in the reconciliation statement.

    The erroneous check amount difference

    = $97 - $79

    = $18

    This will be added to the banks balance as it has been underdeducted in the cash balance in the reconciliation statement.
