instrument in the commercial world. Most of the transactions of the business are done
through bank whether it is a receipt or payment. Rather, it is legally necessary to operate
the transactions through bank after a certain limit. All the transactions, which have been
operated through bank, if not verified properly, the industrial unit may not be sure about
its liquidity position in the bank on a particular date. There may be some cheques which
have been issued, but not presented for payment, as well as there may be some deposits
which has been deposited in the bank, but not collected or credited so far. Some expenses
might have been debited or bills might have been dishonoured. It is not known to the
industrial unit in time, it may lead to wrong conclusions. The errors committed by bank
may not be known without preparing bank reconciliation statement. Preparation of bank
reconciliation statement prevents the chances of en1bezzlement. Hence, bank
reconciliation statement is very important and is a necessity of an industrial unit as it plays
a key role in the liquidity control of the industry.
