What Is the Purpose of a Reconciliation Statement?
Reconciliation statements are usually done to verify the following accounts:
- Accounts of Debt – Done for reconciling or comparing the debt amounts that are outstanding to the record that a lender has. Differences usually are seen as it also depends on how regular or updated the statement analysis of accounts a lender has.
- Bank Accounts – Bank reconciliation intends to balance the company’s current cash balance and the bank account balance. This is done on the same day as a bank regularly updates bank account balances.
- Accounts Receivable – Made for individual customers of a company to compare their outstanding receivable balances and that of the record of the company.
- Accounts Payable – In the same context with an individual customer’s receivable, the customer payable balances are compared to the company’s record of payable balances to that customer.
Either way, a reconciliation statement usually brings out the differences in the time when an institution, lender, or customer updates their accounts. It may also sometimes record discrepancies in the recording of a transaction helpful to both parties involved.
