Either pay it or come to an agreement with the company. If you are reconciling a cash account, it means to identify all of the differences between your balance and the bank's balance. Your checkbook might show $100 balance but the bank says you have $109. Why? Because you wrote a $10 check that has not been cashed, and the bank charged you a $1 fee that you didn't know about. So you subtract the fee, bringing your checkbook balance to $99, and when that outstanding check hits the bank, they will also show $99. If you are reconciling some other account, like accounts receivable, this is normally done by preparing a detail schedule, a listing of all customers and their balances - the total should agree with the total ledger balance.

What does it mean to reconcile a bank account?

A savings and especially a checking bank account have constant deposits and withdrawals, including debits and checks against the account. To reconcile an account is to start from the last monthly balance, add in all deposits, subtract the debits, checks, and withdrawls. Further, it usually means doing each one by one, to arrive at the correct current balance which should match the bank's stated balance.

What are the disadvantages of bank reconciliation statement?

The main disadvantage of a bank reconciliation statement is that you need to be able to do basic math to reconcile your account to the statement. First, you add up all the outstanding checks. Next you add the ending balance on the statement to any outstanding deposits. You then subtract the outstanding checks from the total of the balance and the outstanding deposits. A smaller disadvantage is that it takes time and effort to reconcile your account and your statement.
