BASIC ADJUSTING ENTRIES
• Accruals
• Prepayments
• Pre-collections
• Depreciation and amortizations
• Estimated uncollectible accounts
• Ending inventory
• Bank reconciliation
BANK RECONCILIATION
• Internal control for cash includes:
• - using an imprest system
• - cash collections are deposited to the bank and payments are made through checks. An
amount is set up petty cash fund or revolving fund to be used for small expenses.
• Generally, the record of the bank should be equal to the record of the depositor.
However, due to timing difference and clerical errors, discrepancy on the two records
may occur. Hence, there is a need to reconcile the bank balance and the book balance
of cash.
BANK RECONCILIATION
Common reconciling items are:
Deposit in transit – these are collections deposited in the bank but not reflected yet on the
bank statement particularly if these are deposited after the cut-off period of the day or month.
Outstanding check – these are checks written but not reported yet to the bank. Either it was
not issued yet to the payee or that the payee has not presented it yet to the bank for
encashment.
Bank Credit note – this is a written advise from the bank that the amount of depositor’s cash
increased due to interest earned or collections made by the bank in favor of the depositor.
Bank debit note – written advise by the bank that the amount of the depositor’s cash
decreased due to bank charges.
Clerical error - this is either committed in the bank records or in the depositor’s books.
