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.

When the balances of our Cash Book and Pass Book do not agree, we prepare a Bank Reconciliation Statement. A Bank Reconciliation Statement is prepared periodically to reconcile the two balances and explain the reasons for the difference between them. It shows the items and the errors causing the difference as on a particular date. It is just a statement and not a part of the books of Accounts.
