Timely reconciliation of bank accounts is very vital to ensure proper control and sufficient balance of funds in the company.
In some of the accounting softwares used by the companies there are options for bank reconciliation within the software.
Wherever the software doesn’t support to upload the bank statements it will not be possible to do the reconciliation automatically by the software.
In such instances reconciliation has to be done manually.

Though proper data entry is made through accounting software sometimes reconciliation between the supplier ledger and the statement of accounts from the supplier is a nightmare for an accountant. When the number of transactions are huge and the considerations like discounts, rebate, returns etc. also requires, the reconciliation between the accounts becomes more difficult. Scope of reconciliation of supplies ledger/vendor payments involves the following:
1. To ensure invariably all the suppliers accounts are credited with the invoices received for the supplies they made for.
2. To see that purchase returns are properly debited in the suppliers account, for which either debit notes are raised against the suppliers or credit notes received from them.
3. Verify whether discounts/rebates etc. received from the suppliers or as per the agreed terms with them were correctly reflected as debits/ charge to their accounts.
4. Ensure that normally while making payment to suppliers the purchase returns and discounts availed/received were adjusted against amount due for supplies. And the payments made to suppliers are properly debited in the concerned suppliers accounts.
5. In case of advances made to suppliers, checking of accounting entries will be made to ensure that all the advance payment made to suppliers will be correctly accounted and before making final payment to suppliers the same have been adjusted against the bill/s due.
6. If there is any adjustment (debit/credit) for price variation agreed with the supplier it will be ensured that the same has been adjusted before making settlement with suppliers for bills.
7. Ensure whether foreign exchange differences were correctly ascertained and accounted.
