Bank Statements

6 May, 2015 - 17:39

An advantage of using a bank account to control cash is that banks send a bank statement monthly reporting all the transactions in the account. Information normally present in the bank statement consists of the beginning and ending balances, deposits, other credits, withdrawals and other debits. The cancelled checks are enclosed with the statement, as well as debit and credit memorandums (for items processed by the bank usually unknown to the depositor). Rarely will the bank statement balance and the depositor's Cash in Bank account balance be exactly the same, and they must be reconciled.
