Answer Posted / onkar sule

A bank reconciliation statement is a statement prepared by
a customer to explain the causes responsible for the
disagreement with the bank balance as shown by the cash
book and the bank balance shown by the pass book as on a
particular date. Many a times the balance as per the cash
book n that as per the bank book does not match because of
the reasons like time taken to clear a cheque etc. In order
to concile the balance between the two statements, a
statement called Bank reconciliation statement is prepared.
It ensures that no wrong entry is passed in either of the
two books. In other words a form that allows individual to
compare their personal bank account records to the bank
records of the individual account balance in order to
uncover any possible discrepancies.
