5.1.2 Differences Caused by Errors
Apart from timing differences, discrepancies between the cash book and passbook balances may arise due to errors committed by either the business firm or the bank. These errors cause differences that need to be identified and rectified. Errors by the firm include omission or wrong recording of transactions such as cheques issued, cheques deposited, or wrong totaling of the cash book. Errors by the bank may include omission or wrong recording of transactions in the passbook or wrong totaling. Identifying these errors is crucial for accurate reconciliation. The firm must compare entries in both books carefully to detect such errors and make necessary adjustments in the bank reconciliation statement.
