To prepare a bank reconciliation for a company that never prepared one previously, I would first make a list of outstanding checks. For example, if your recent bank statement is dated August 31, I would look at the bank statements from June through August and make a list of the check numbers that had been written after June 1, but had not appeared on any of the bank statements from June through August. Next to each check number write the dollar amount of each check. Subtract the total of the outstanding checks as of August 31 from the bank statement balance as of August 31. The resulting amount is the adjusted balance per bank.
Next, look at the general ledger account that is associated with the bank statement. Let's assume it is the Cash account. Be certain that the Cash account shows items that appear on the recent bank statements. For example, Have the bank service charges been entered in the Cash account? Have the electronic transfers been entered? If not, you will need to make those entries. You may have to go back to earlier bank statements and enter those amounts as well.
Eventually, you need to get the August 31 balance in the Cash account to be equal to the adjusted balance per bank. If the difference is not a significant amount, you can debit or credit the Cash account for the amount necessary for it to agree to the adjusted balance per bank. I would put the same amount into an income statement account such as Difference per Bank Rec. Keep a copy of your documentation and begin a file entitled Bank Reconciliations.
When the September 30 bank statement arrives, prepare another bank reconciliation. Using a copy of the August 31 listing of outstanding checks, cross off the checks that cleared on the September bank statement. Prepare a September 30 listing of outstanding checks beginning with the checks not crossed off on the August 31 copy, and then add the checks written in September that did not clear on the September bank statement. The total of the outstanding checks as of September 30 should be deducted from the bank statement balance of September 30 to arrive at the adjusted balance per bank as of September 30. Be sure to enter into the Cash account the September bank service charge and other items appearing on the bank statement that have not yet been entered in the Cash account. This adjusted balance in the Cash account as of September 30 should be the same as the adjusted balance per bank as of September 30. If there is a difference, you must identify it and make any necessary adjustments.

How do you record a Stale cheque in bank reconciliation statement?
To record a stale cheque in a bank reconciliation statement, first identify the cheque that has not been cashed within the typical time frame (usually six months). Deduct the amount of the stale cheque from the bank statement balance, as it is no longer considered a valid liability. Additionally, make an adjustment in your accounting records by reversing the original entry for the cheque, ensuring your books reflect the current status of outstanding payments. Finally, note the stale cheque in the reconciliation for clarity and future reference.
What is the first step toward reconciling your checkbook register?
The first step is to gather the documentation needed to complete the reconciliation: the check register, the bank statement and the previous reconciliation. While you can complete the following steps in any sequence, I think it makes sense to first compare the reconciling items from the previous statement to make sure they are no longer reconciling items: have all outstanding checks been presented, have any deposits in transit been credited, bank fees recorded, etc. Then you would compare all checks recorded in the register to those which have cleared the bank, noting any discrepancies. Then do the same for deposits. Finally, identify any charges or credits on the bank statement which were not posted to the check register. As long as you complete the reconciliation, it really doesn't matter which step you do first. I believe the above sequence makes the process easier.
How do I adjust for uncredited cheques in bank reconciliation?
To adjust for uncredited cheques in bank reconciliation, first identify the cheques issued that have not yet cleared the bank.

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.

A smaller disadvantage is that it takes time and effort to reconcile your account and your statement.
