In almost all cases, the balance between the check book and bank statement will not match because any transactions that you did using your ATM/Debit Card will not be recorded in your check book. The balance on your bank statement will be accurate and that shows the actual amount of money you have in your account. If you do not use your check book frequently then the entries in it may be old and outdated.

When To make your checkbook balance agree with the bank statement balance?
You should balance your checkbook whenever you receive your monthly bank statement. It's usually on or around the same date each month. 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).
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.

Match the closing balance on the previous statement with the beginning balance on the current statement. Record the closing balance from the current statement on the reconciliation worksheet on the back of the current statement. Match the deposit receipts with those on the bank statement. Place all returned checks in numerical order. Compare the amounts of the checks with the amounts on the current bank statement. List all outstanding checks separately on the reconciliation worksheet. Add any interest earned as well as service charges. Compare the checkbook balance with the bank statement balance. If the two do not agree, check your work and then call the bank.

Eliza Savage received a statement from her bank showing a checking account balance of 324.18 as of January 18 Her own checkbook shows a balance of 487.38 as of January 29 The bank returned all?
Eliza Savage's bank statement balance of $324.18 as of January 18 and her checkbook balance of $487.38 as of January 29 indicate a discrepancy. This could be due to outstanding checks that have not yet cleared the bank. To reconcile the balances, Eliza should compare the transactions recorded in her checkbook with those reflected in the bank statement, taking note of any outstanding checks or deposits that may explain the difference. By adjusting for these outstanding transactions, she can reconcile the balances and ensure the accuracy of her financial records.

What is the first step toward reconciling your checkbook?
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.
