You joined the club in the last year and as you have studied some accounting Mark has asked you to help him with the accounts.

Mark believes he is correct as the bank must be correct so he needs to agree with its balance. Explain to mark why the basketball club’s cash balance may be different from the bank statement and yet be the correct balance.
