Course description

The bank reconciliation is a process which identifies the difference between the bank balance shown in a firm’s bank statements and the corresponding amount shown in the firm’s own accounting records at a specific point in time. The document used to record this process is referred to as a bank reconciliation statement/report or the ‘three-way bank reconciliation statement’ when reconciling client bank accounts and money.

The SRA Accounts Rules require firms to complete a client bank reconciliation for all client bank accounts operated by that firm at least every five weeks.

Presented by leading trainer Darren Whelan, this webinar will explain the key issues to look out for in order to demonstrate compliance.
