A+L+L Project #11 Bank Reconciliation Preview of Chapter At the end of each month, Fido receives a bank statement from its bank. This bank statement shows the information that the bank has processed from the beginning of the month to the end of the month. The accountant must "reconcile" the bank statement details to Fido's accounting records. To do this, the accountant reviews Fido's Cash ledger account to determine where the bank statement and Fido's Cash ledger account do not agree. Most often these differences are expected on a monthly basis. For instance, many banks charge a monthly service fee. This fee would not be recorded on the company's books until the monthly bank statement arrives, because the company would not know the amount of the charge until that time. The accountant prepares worksheets to show this recon ciliation, then makes a journal entry to record transaction that may need to be recorded on Fido's Cash ledger account. The accountant should always keep a watchful eye for any transactions that are not the company's responsibility. In those cases, the accountant would contact the bank and ask for a correction of the bank error. Fido's does not have any bank errors in this project. All differences between the bank and the books need to be recorded. The "change is cash" is always calculated by referencing the beginning of the period bosk balance to the end of the period reconciled book balance. Students often confuse this as the change between the recon- ciled and unreconciled balance. The change is the change for the entire accounting period. Again, that is the beginning of the month balance com- pared to the reconciled end of the month balance. Note: The financial statement prepared for this project are needed for the remaining pro- jects. No further financial statement will be prepared.
