The Problem Today

Finance teams spend 100s of hours monthly reconciling bank statements

In what is a completely manual process, UTR numbers are matched against invoices in the ERP. This is time consuming and error prone. Some banks offer H2H integrations, but these are complex and bank account specific.

Compliance is ignored

Invoices are rarely checked for compliance issues - struck off PANs, incorrect GST, MSME,
e-invoice checks and more.

No central database

Invoices and vendor data is distributed, and often inaccessible when required for audits and future reference.

Unreliable OCR systems

Legacy OCR scanning only offers about 65% accuracy, reducing trust in the system and leaving invoices to be checked manually.
The Problem Today

AP teams spend 100s of hours booking invoices

This is not only a waste of time and productivity, but many a times the invoice booking process has compliance loopholes, uses outdated technology and there is no central storage system for audit readiness and future reference.

Compliance is ignored

Invoices are rarely checked for compliance issues - struck off PANs, incorrect GST, MSME,
e-invoice checks and more.

Invoices and vendor data is distributed, and often inaccessible when required for audits and future reference.

Unreliable OCR systems

Legacy OCR scanning only offers about 65% accuracy, reducing trust in the system and leaving invoices to be checked manually.

Error prone process

AP teams go line by line - one transaction at a time to reconcile with invoices in the ERP. This process is error prone.

Complex H2H Integrations

Some banks have H2H integrations. They’re complex, time consuming to set up. Further, each account needs its own integration.

Real time data unavailable

The more the number of transactions, the longer it takes to reconcile. Real time updation is impossible.

What Is Bank Reconciliation?

Bank reconciliation is the process of comparing and reconciling bank statements with a company's financial records to ensure accuracy. Reconciling bank statements helps identify discrepancies between the bank and account records. A bank reconciliation statement is created to show any differences and adjustments made. This process is vital for maintaining accurate financial records. Bank reconciliation can be done manually or through online reconciliation methods. Proper financial reconciliation helps businesses maintain accurate records, ensuring the integrity of their financial statements.

Process flow for bank reconciliation

The bank reconciliation process begins with obtaining your bank statement and comparing it to your records. Start by reconciling bank statements with your internal accounts to identify discrepancies. This involves matching transactions and ensuring the bank reconciliation statement aligns with your financial records. Next, address any differences, such as outstanding checks or bank fees. For online reconciliation, update records to reflect these differences. Prepare a reconciliation statement to summarize the process and ensure the bank account reconciliation is accurate. This process helps ensure accurate financial reconciliation and effective management of cash flow and transactions.
Benefits of Bank Reconciliation
Ensures Accurate Payment Tracking

Regular bank reconciliation helps confirm that all customer payments have been accurately recorded and processed, ensuring that your bank statement matches your internal records. This is crucial for maintaining accurate financial records and managing cash flow.

Simplifies Financial Management

By reconciling bank statements and preparing reconciliation statements, you streamline your accounting processes. This reduces the complexity of managing financial transactions and helps maintain an organized and up-to-date account balance.

Detects and Corrects Errors

Bank reconciliation is effective in catching errors or discrepancies between your records and the bank statement. This includes identifying issues with cash receipts or transactions, allowing for timely corrections and more accurate financial reporting.

Challenges with Bank Reconciliation

1. Uncleared Checks: When reconciling bank statements, uncleared checks that have been issued but not yet processed by the bank can cause discrepancies, complicating the bank and account reconciliation.

2. Voided Checks:
Voided checks that have already cleared the bank may not be accurately reflected in your records, making it challenging to reconcile accounts and prepare a correct bank reconciliation statement.

3. Returned Deposits: Deposits that are returned or rejected by the bank can affect the accuracy of your account balances. This issue requires careful reconciliation to ensure your bank reconciliation statement matches your internal records.

4. Bank Service Charges: Bank service fees that are not recorded in your accounts can create differences between the bank statement and your records, necessitating detailed financial reconciliation.

5. Interest Income: Interest earned but not yet recorded in your internal accounts can impact the bank reconciliation process, requiring adjustments to ensure accurate reconciliation of your balance sheet.

How to Perform Bank Reconciliations: Step-by-Step

1. Compare Balances: Match your bank account balance with your cash balance in the books to start the bank reconciliation process.

2. Review the Bank Statement:
Examine the bank statement for discrepancies and transactions that need to be reconciled with your records.

3. Check the Cash Book: Ensure your cash book entries align with the bank statement, identifying any missing or incorrect entries.

4. Adjust Bank Balance: Update the bank account balance to correct any errors or pending transactions.

5. Update Your Books: Modify your records to match the adjusted bank balance, ensuring accuracy.

6. Record Reconciliation: Document the process by preparing a reconciliation statement to track changes and maintain accurate financial records.
