Bank Reconciliation Statement – CS Foundation Fundamentals of Accounting Notes
Introduction:
- Bank A/c is a personal A/c.
- An institution which deals with money is known as Bank.
- The main business of bank is to accept deposits and lend money.
Services of Banks:
- Accept deposits
- Give loans
- Discounts promissory notes, etc.
- Make payment of premium, etc. on behalf of client
- Allow overdrafts
- Issues letter of credits and many other functions
- Collects money and make Payment on behalf of clients.
Bank Account is a personal account of the clients.
Types of Personal Accounts:
- Current Account
- Savings Account
- Fixed Deposit Account
- Recurring Deposit Account
Current Account:
- These accounts are opened by business concerns.
- The deposits and withdrawals from the accounts can be done as many number of times as required and can be withdrawn without notice.
- Generally, they have very low interest rate on deposits.
- It provides overdraft facilities to its customers.
- Bank credits Client’s A/c when collection is made and debits when making payment.
Overdraft:
Overdraft is a facility where by a customer is allowed to draw more than the amount deposited in his account.
Saving Account:
- These accounts are opened by individuals who wish to save their income.
- It imposes restrictions on the amount and number of withdrawals that can be made.
- Not for business concern but for Individual or Institution which do not need withdrawals very often.
- Number of transactions are less as compared to current account.
- Bank allows a small rate of interest on such deposits.
Fixed Deposit Account:
- Here the money is to be deposited for a particular period of time before which it cannot be withdrawn.
- The bank pays the highest interest rate on such deposits.
- Fixed deposit is evidenced by a receipt called “Fixed Deposit Receipt”’issued by bank in the name of Depositor.
Recurring Deposit Account:
- Here, a fixed amount of money is deposited every month for a fixed period time.
- Bank pays interest on such deposits compounded quarterly at a fixed rate.
Bank Pass Book:
- Pass book is a copy of the clients account in the bank’s ledger.
- Pass book is issued to the client.
- It shows all the transactions entered between the client and the bank.
- The bank balance as per the bank ledger indicated in the bank pass book is called bank balance as per pass book.
Pass Book and Cash Book:
- Pass book is maintained by bank whereas cash book is maintained by customer.
- In pass book, transactions are recorded from the point of view of bank whereas in cash book they are recorded from point of view of client.
- Entries done in the cash book are exactly opposite to that posted in pass book.
Example:
- Mr. A deposited ₹ 4,000 in bank.
- Mr. A withdrew ₹ 2,000.
The above transaction will be shown in cash book and pass book as follows:
1. Debit balance of cash book = Credit balance of pass book
2. Credit balance of cash book = Debit balance of pass book
Generally, the above is always true but sometimes, there is a difference between them, to trace these differences between balances of pass book and cash book a Bank Reconciliation Statement is prepared.
Bank Reconciliation Statement:
- A bank reconciliation statement is a statement which is prepared to reconcile the balance as per cash book with the balance as per pass book.
- It shows the causes of differences between the two.
- Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS) is prepared at a particular date.
BRS:
- BRS is a statement.
- It is prepared on a particular date to reconcile the bank balance as per cash book with the balance as per pass book by showing the causes of difference between the two.
Causes of difference in Bank Balance of Cash Book and Pass Book:
| Reasons | Effect on Cash Book / Pass Book | |
| Cash Book | Pass Book | |
| 1. Cheque issued but not presented for payment | lower than PB | No effect |
| 2. Cheque Paid / Sent to bank for collection but not collected | more than PB | No effect |
| 3. Interest & Dividend received by Bank | No effect | More than CB |
| 4. Direct deposits made by customers | No effect | More than CB |
| 5. Direct payment made by bank | No effect | Less than CB |
| 6. Interest credited by bank on account | No effect | More than CB |
| 7. Interest Debited by bank on overdraft | No effect | Less than CB |
| 8. Bills collected by bank | No effect | More than CB |
| 9. Dishonour of bill discounted by bank | No effect | Less than CB |
| 10. Dishonour of a cheque deposited with bank | More than PB | No effect |
| 11. Any Error and omission | Retrospective effect | Retrospective |
Significance of BRS:
- Highlights causes of difference, necessary adjustment can therefore be carried out at early date.
- Reduce chances of fraud.
- Act as a moral check.
- Actual position of bank balance can be found.
Methods for BRS:
- Bank Reconciliation Statement without adjusting CB
- Bank Reconciliation Statement after adjusting CB
(i) Proforma of BRS without adjusting Cash Book : BRS (as on../…/….)
| Particulars | Amount ₹ |
| Balance as per Pass Book / Cash Book (Dr./Cr.) Add: (a) (b) (c) (d) Sub: (a) (b) (c) (d) |
……………………. |
Balance as per Cash Book / Pass Book (Cr./Dr.)
(ii) BRS with adjusted Cash Book : under this method we make two things:
1. Adjusted Cash book: In adjusted cash book we record only those transaction which have an impact over cash (i.e. increase or decrease) and are correct. Correctly recorded transaction have no need to be adjusted.
Adjusted Cash book neglect following transactions:
- Cheque issued but not presented
- Cheque sent to bank but not collected
- Any mistake by bank
2. BRS : Items which are not considered in adjusted cash book are considered in BRS.
Preparation of Bank Reconciliation Statement:
Step 1 : Start preparing BRS by taking any one balance (either of cash book or pass book).
Note :
There can be four types of balances :
- Debit balance of cash book (Favourable)
- Credit balance of cash book (Unfavourable)
- Debit balance of pass book (Unfavourable)
- Credit balance of pass book (Favourable)
Step 2 : Ascertaining and treating the causes of difference
Case – 1 : Starting with favourable balance of cash book (Dr. balance)
(i) Items of differences which have led to decreased cash book balance – Add them
Example : Cheque issued but not presented for payment. This amount would have been deducted from cash book and not from pass book hence it has led to decreased cash book balance. So it will be added.
(ii) Items of differences which have led to increased cash book balance. – Deduct them
Example: Cheques deposited but not collected. When cheque was deposited, entry would have been in cash book but since they are not collected no entry has been made in pass book. This has led to an increased cash book balance so it is deducted, in order to bring it equal to pass book.
Case – 2 : Starting with unfavourable balance or bank overdraft balance of cash book (credit balance)
(i) Items of differences which have led to increased overdraft Cash Book balance – Deduct them.
Example : Cheques issued but not presented for payment – Entry must have been done in cash book and due to this overdraft balance must have been increased. So, it is deducted.
(ii) Items of differences which have led to decreased overdraft cash book balance — Add them.
Example : Cheques deposited but not yet cleared. Entry has been done in cash book but not in pass book. This means credit balance of cash book would have been reduced, so this item is added.
Case – 3 : Starting with favourable balance of pass book (credit balance)
(i) Items of differences that have led to increased pass book balance – Deduct them
Example : Cheques issued but not presented for payment. Entry has been done in cash book so cash book is showing a reduced balance. No entry done in pass book so pass book is showing increased balance. In order to bring pass book balance equal to cash book, deduct this amount.
(ii) Items of differences that have led to reduced pass book balance – Add them
Example : Cheques deposited but not collected by bank. Entry is made in cash book so it shows an increased balance but no entry has been made in pass book, so pass book balance shows a reduced figure. So, add this item to the pass book credit balance.
Case – 4 : When unfavourable balance as per pass book is given (Debit balance)
(i) Items of differences that have led to increased overdraft (unfavourable) pass book balance – deduct them
Example : Interest charged. This entry would have been done by the bank. So, the overdraft balance of the pass book would have been increased but no entry of it has been done in the cash book so deduct this from pass book balance.
(ii) Items of differences that have led to decreased pass book overdraft balance – Add them
Example : Dividend collected by bank. This entry has been done in pass book so it has reduced overdraft balance. But no such entry is in cash book yet, so this item is added to the pass book balance to bring it equal to cash book balance.
