Set up two sections: one for the company cash account section and the other for the bank balance section. Determine the effect of the data on each section. Recall that when you are finished, the adjusted balances in the bank and company sections of the reconciliation must be equal. If not, an item has been overlooked or treated in error.

Recall that the company's cash account balance is updated for any items in the company section of the bank reconciliation.

2. Journalize the necessary entries. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles.

Feedback

Keep in mind that the company needs to journalize any adjusting items in the company section of the bank reconciliation, because these have not been previously recorded by the company. Debit memo items like bank service charges decrease Cash. Items that come from credit memos like collections of notes or interest by the bank increase cash. If the company made an error that overstates or understates cash in the company section, the journal adjustment would decrease Cash or increase Cash, respectively.
