Bank Reconciliation Solution

BitCurb provides you with a single enterprise grade reconciliation solution to address your bank reconciliation needs.

What is Bank Reconciliation?

Bank reconciliation is a mandatory step in the financial period-end process that is relevant to businesses of all sizes and industries. It compares and matches the internal data (typically the General Ledger) against its counterpart bank statement data to ensure that the business’s financial data is accurate.

What Is the Process for Bank Reconciliation

At the account period end (typically every month), the bank statement report (detailed report) must be validated against the internal financial system data for that period.

Bank Reconciliation challenges

The bank reconciliation process, despite appearing to be a simple process on the surface, is often a difficult burden for businesses due to the high volume of transactions, large number of accounts to reconcile, various data sources and financial formats, understaffing, or inability to efficiently maintain the reconciliation on a regular basis.

Sometimes the nature of the matching transactions requires complex reconciliation rules like one-to-many with adjustments, so high efficiency is achieved. Rather than manually comparing transactions that should have been matched, your team might focus on categorizing and investing in exceptions.

Why Is Bank Reconciliation Important?

A bank reconciliation should be completed at regular intervals for all bank accounts to ensure that a company's cash records are correct. It is crucial to the financial health of every business.

You won't be able to detect differences between your financial system and your bank statement if you don't do bank reconciliation. These discrepancies could be caused by currency settlements, bank fees, NSF checks, outstanding checks, or deposits in transit.

You can never have an accurate, hassle-free period end close for your accounts unless you have a consistent bank reconciliation process.

That’s a powerful weapon to address the charge of any bank fees and currency settlements on your bank statement when matching against the charts of account data.
