I. PURPOSE OF BANK RECONCILIATION
The purpose of a bank reconciliation is to ensure that the ledger account balance and the bank statement balance agree ( subject to timing difference). There will be two types of reconciling items:
-Items that appear on the bank statement but have not yet been entered into the day books
-Items that have been entered into the day books but have not yet appeared on the bank statement.
