The method

  1. Difference = bank balance − book balance, less whatever is explained by outstanding cheques or deposits in transit.
  2. What remains after explanation is what must be investigated; a reconciliation does not close on an unexplained amount.

Built forAn accountant reviewing an entry or balance before close
