Before we Sneak a Peek into Bank Reco in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Banking, let’s find out
What is a Bank Reconciliation Statement?
A bank reconciliation statement is a document that compares the bank balance available in the organization’s bank account as per the organization’s balance sheet to the bank balance as the Bank’s Records. This statement shows the reasons for any discrepancies between the two statements i.e. Bank Book (As per Organization’s Records) vs. Bank Statement (As per Bank Records).
The primary objective of preparing a Bank Reconciliation Statement is to verify that the company’s records (ledger) match the bank’s records (bank statement). This helps in identifying errors, omissions, or unauthorized transactions.
This is a very critical report that ensures the correctness of the Bank Books and ensures correct financial reporting. Bank Reconciliation Statement is also very useful to detect any errors and intentional frauds.
A Bank Reconciliation Process involves the following activities:
- Gather Statements – Organization’s Bank Book, and the corresponding period Bank Statement from Bank.
- Compare the Opening Balances / previous periods un-reconciled items
- Identify current period reconciled (matching) and unreconciled / unrecorded items.
- Compare the unreconciled / unrecorded items to identify transactions.
- Adjust Books balance and the Bank Balance based on the above unreconciled / unrecorded items.
- Prepare the Reconciliation Statement after reconciling the book and bank balances.
- Document the Reconciliation Statement showing the adjustments made to both the book and bank balances.
