Igcse Accounting Exam-Style Questions

Reconciling a cash book with a bank statement each month allows a business owner to identify errors, amounts not credited by the bank, and reconcile any differences. Specifically, it helps identify cheques that were paid into the bank but not on the statement, cheques paid by the business but not on the statement, and other reconciling items like unpresented cheques, bank charges, direct debits paid, credits received, cash sales not deposited, bank errors, and dishonored cheques. The cash book tracks some reconciling items while the bank statement tracks others.
