What to Focus On

  • The cash book shows both cash and bank balances at period end.
  • A bank passbook is the bank's record of the account.
  • Passbook deposits appear in the credit column and withdrawals in the debit column.

  • Timing differences are the most common cause of mismatch.
  • Errors can be made either by the firm or by the bank.
  • Bank debits such as charges and dishonoured item deductions reduce passbook balance.

  • Starting from cash book balance and starting from passbook balance use opposite treatments.
  • Items that increase the bank balance are added; items that decrease it are deducted.
  • Timing differences and errors must be separated mentally for correct treatment.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Debit balance always means favourable balance.

Items outstanding from the cash book are always subtracted.

All bank charges and bank debits are added back in the reconciliation.
