ReviewReview
Discuss the purpose of a bank reconciliation.A bank reconciliation is a procedure designed to explain the differences between the balance in a firm's bank account and the balance on the period's bank statement. The reconciliation procedure examines the differences based on the information available to each party and adjusts for the differences. It also serves as a format for the discovery and correction of recording errors.
