What is the process of matching your checkbook register with a bank statement?
The process of comparing a checkbook register with a bank statement is generally called a "bank reconciliation". Assume that you started business on January 1 and have just received your January 31 bank statement. Make a reconciliation worksheet, with the beginning balance equal to the ending balance shown on the January 31 bank statement. Then compare everything in your check register to the items on the bank statement. Check that all January deposits you recorded in the register also appear on your bank statement. Any deposits you made that hasn't "hit" the bank yet is called Deposit in Transit (DIT). Add total DIT to the bank balance, because the bank balance is "short" by that amount. Checks you wrote in January: Compare the check register with the checks that appear as cashed on your bank statement. Any check that is in the register but has not yet been paid by the bank is an "outstanding check". Make a list of all outstanding checks and get a total, Subtract the total of outstanding checks from the beginning bank balance. Then, adjust your check register for fees that the bank deducted or interest the bank paid that you did not record in the register during the month. Record those items on the register to get an adjusted register balance. Finally, put it all together: Bank ending balance + Deposits in transit - Outstanding checks SHOULD = The balance in your checkbook. If your actual checkbook balance does not equal this number, you either made a mathematical error or you missed something in the reconciliation process. Do it again.
What is checkbook reconciliation?
At the end of the month you do a checkbook reconciliation in order to balance your checkbook to ensure that the balance agrees with what the bank says is in your account. You do this by totaling all the checks you wrote for the month, along with any charges the bank has levied such as the cost of writing the checks etc, and deducting them from the previous month's balance. Then you add up all your deposits for the same period, and your checkbook balance should agree with what the bank says you now have in your account. Checks are fast becoming obsolete for most people as they move to on-line banking and are paying their bills electronically.
What should you do after receiving your statement from the bank?
You should compare your statement from your bank with your expenses and deposits to make sure they are correct. You can use your bank statement to balance your checkbook. Then you should file it with your other monthly bank statements.

When To make your checkbook balance agree with the bank statement balance?

However, you can also track your bank balance against your checkbook balance much more often using online banking or other automated sources (ATM, bank by phone, etc).
Why should you balance your checkbook?
You should keep your checkbook balanced so that you have an accurate idea of what your funds and budgets are like. It will allow you to keep a proper tally of your finances, spending habits and keep you from spending excessively on things you don't actually need.
