Question

If a company made a bank deposit on September 30 that did not appear on the bank statement dated September 30, in preparing the September 30 bank reconciliation, the company should:

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 'add the deposit to the end cash balance per bank statement'

Explanation:

The company made a deposit on the last day of September and this was not recorded by the bank i.e it will not be shown on the bank statement at September 30. The company had already recorded this deposit in the cash book at office. This means the bank statement is less this deposit amount.

To correct this anomaly, the deposit that was not recorded by the bank will be added to the end cash balance as per bank statement.
