Q15. What is a bank reconciliation statement?
Ans:
Just like the bank organisations maintain a cash book in order to record the bank and cash transactions, similar to this the bank also maintains an account for each customer in its book where all the deposits made by the customer are recorded. The deposits are recorded on the credit side of the account and the withdrawals are recorded on the debit side of the account. A copy of this is sent to the customer address is called the passbook. The bank balance presented by the cash book and the passbook does not always match. Thus, the entries in them are compared and the differences that arise are rectified, and to reconcile the balances in the cash books and the passbook a statement is prepared, which is known as the reconciliation statement.
