OVERVIEW
We match bank statements to accounting records, investigate differences, and maintain dependable cash information for clearer financial decisions.
Bank reconciliation creates a clear connection between external bank activity and the transactions recorded in your books. We review statements, deposits, withdrawals, transfers, charges, interest, and outstanding items against the ledger, then classify differences for follow-up. The work can cover one account, multiple accounts, or a defined reporting period, depending on scope. You receive an organized reconciliation trail that highlights unresolved items, supports month-end review, and helps keep cash balances and bookkeeping records aligned.
BUSINESS CHALLENGES
Where this support makes a difference.
- Unmatched deposits, withdrawals, and transfers obscure the true cleared cash position.
- Bank charges and interest entries are missing, duplicated, or posted to the wrong period.
- Old outstanding items remain open without documented follow-up or ownership.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
A practical, clearly defined scope.
Statement-to-ledger matching
Compare bank statement lines with recorded transactions, marking matched items and listing deposits, payments, transfers, and withdrawals that require investigation.
Difference and exception log
Prepare a practical exception log for missing, duplicated, misclassified, or timing-related entries, with relevant dates, amounts, references, and suggested bookkeeping follow-up.
Adjustment support
Organize proposed journal-entry support for approved corrections, including clear explanations and source references; final posting remains subject to client review and authorization.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Practical details, explained.
01What does a bank reconciliation include?
It includes comparing bank statements with the accounting ledger, matching cleared transactions, identifying timing differences and missing entries, and documenting unresolved items or proposed corrections for review. The exact accounts and period depend on the agreed scope.
02Can you reconcile multiple bank accounts?
Yes, multiple accounts can be included when statements and accounting records are available and the engagement scope covers them. Each account can be reviewed separately, with consolidated outstanding items or a combined summary prepared where useful.
03Will ASBA post correcting entries or provide an audit opinion?
ASBA can organize adjustment support and reconciliation evidence, but posting remains subject to client authorization or the designated bookkeeper. The service provides administrative and analytical support only; it does not constitute statutory auditor authorization or an independent audit opinion.
This service is subject to agreed scope and applicable professional requirements; jurisdiction-specific tax treatment, including whether VAT applies, should be confirmed by a qualified tax professional, while statutory audit, regulated legal services, and other regulated advice remain outside scope.
