Bank reconciliation is the process of comparing and matching figures from the accounting

Bank reconciliation allows companies or individuals to compare their account records to the
bank's records of their account balance in order to uncover any possible discrepancies.
Discrepancies could include: cheques recorded as a lesser amount than what was presented
to the bank; money received but not lodged; or payments taken from the bank account
without the business's knowledge. A bank reconciliation done regularly can reduce the
number of errors in an accounts system and make it easier to find missing purchases and
sales invoices. A simple reconciliation formula used is usually.
