Explanation

(a) Bank Reconciliation Statement: it is a statement prepared by a bank's current account holder on receipt of a bank statement. It is prepared to bring the firm's cash book (bank column) balance into an agreement with its bank statement balance.

(b) Reasons for preparing a bank reconciliation Statement: They are prepared in order to

i. ensure that individual payments and receipts on the bank statement are reflected in the bank column of the cash book.

ii. arrive at a basis for making any correction in the bank column of the cash book and the bank statement balance at a particular date.

iii. reconcile the balance per bank statement with the balance in the firm's cash book at a particular date

v. explain any difference between the balance as per the bank column of the cash book and the bank statement balance
