@@adapttuition good afternoon sir why do we use balance as per bank statement My teacher said the business can not use the balance as per bank statement because it is not a record of the business Please explain to me. Thank you.
Hi, as far as I know there is no such rule but if your teacher insists that you use the balance as per cash book then do so. To me it doesn’t matter which way it is done. And, in any case in order to update the cash book we must have the bank statement. And, if we have the bank statement we have the balance as per bank statement. Also, the bank reconciliation statement is not a financial statement governed by any international account standards and as such there is no one right format. Again, if your teacher insists you do it his/her/their way that’s fine. It’s good to know how to do it both ways anyway.
Good Lesson. My teacher gives special names to the missing entries from bank statements such as unpresented checks and unposted deposits, rebates , standing order and bank charges. These names help me to find the entries quickly on either statement.
Why didn't my sir explain like this? It felt like he was speaking French when he did. Just understood the concept from you, Thank you sir, much grateful!❤
Sir your explanations helped alot in getting me to understand, thank you. Tomorrow is my POA CSEC paper 2, so if i come across bank reconciliation statement i would mostly be able to mash it up

Ty so much for this Sir. I'm doing exams this year 2022 and this topic is on the list for CXC. My teacher now taught us this format for the first time today. All we knew, was that the bank statement was always the opposite of the cash book where cash book is an asset and when it increases you will debit but in the bank statement you will credit(do the opposite) but never actually taught us the format until today. You explained it so well and I always come to you when I don't understand and you explain it so well. You are also a very funny teacher. Much respect from Trinidad

Hello Sir. I have a poa exam tomorrow, but I've been pondering about this question for the past month. Not knowing whether If a balance in the cash book is credited, do you debit or credit the revised cash book balance. Aswell in vise versa with bank statement and bank rec?
Hi! A balance in the cash book is debit balance unless they specifically state that it’s an overdraft. Similarly, a bank statement balance is a positive / credit balance unless they specifically say it’s an overdraft.
Since I had subscribed the channel. Can I get 1. Ledger preparation 2. Journal entries 3. TRADING, PROFIT, LOSS ACCOUNT with Accruals, prepayment, Outstanding, adjustment, provisions,
Hi! Thanks for subscribing :) I have an entire playlist dedicated to the income statement (the trading and profit and loss account) with adjustments already. Check out my playlist section. The other items are in the works and will be out during the course of the year.
Yessss, just what I had anticipated! Thanks a lot... Also, I am clueless about how you added Wynn's account and transport to the bank recs. Also, what is direct transfer? We've only been taught about credit transfer or giro transfer...
Credit transfer and direct credit transfers are the same thing. A bank giro according to google is an instruction to a bank to credit an amount to someone's account. So essentially it's like a direct deposit. For Wynn and Transport it's probably because those were items in the Cash Book that were not present in the bank statement. The theme behind what I was doing was looking for the uncommon items (the items that were present in one place - Cash Book OR Bank Statement - that were NOT present in the other) and "putting them in" the other place, thereby making everything "common". In other words making sure all receipts and payments were in both places (cash book AND bank statement). Hope that helps.
Hi! I’ve heard that teachers have been using my videos to teach their classes. I’m happy that I have provided a resource that ppl are finding useful. Best wishes to you.
Your videos are brilliant but there is one question I cant get my head round. Would really appreciate help from anyone. Priya is preparing her bank rec. The bank balance in her general ledger is £422 overdrawn. The only item that need to be dealt with are: - A payment to a supplier of £822 that has not yet appeared on the bank statement. - Interest received of £153 that was credited to the bank, but not yet recorded/ what is the closing balance on Priyas account. Answer = £1,091 overdrawn.
Hi! Ok, so her cash book balance is $422 (Overdraft). The $822 is an unpresented cheque and the $153 is a direct credit. To update the cash book balance we would have to add the $153 But that would look like -$422 + $153 = -$269 Then to get the bank statement balance we would have to add back the unpresented cheques So that would be -$269 + $822 = $553 So the $1,091 balance is wrong We would get$1,091 if we did -$269 -$822 But that working doesn’t make any sense So I suspect there’s an error somewhere
You’re welcome! And, yes, most likely If your teacher says different and is able to provide you with a solution that makes sense to you please let me know
The balance of the cash book is an overdraft of $765. The bookkeeper has identified an error whereby a customer receipt of $78 was recorded twice. In addition uncleared lodgements of $347 have been identified. What should be the overdraft on the bank statement? See the ans below but I can’t seem to understand why the bank overdraft is 1190. Please explain in detail.
HI! Did you check the other videos in this playlist? I dealt with errors like this in the other videos. Let me know if you find them and if they help you with this issue.
But, consider this: the overdraft is a negative balance so think of the bank balance as -$765. The error where the receipt was recorded twice is fixed by subtracting $78 from the -$765 thus eliminating the double counting of the receipt. The uncleared lodgments are increases in the cash book that are not reflected in the bank statement. So to "equate" the information you either add the lodgments to the bank statement balance so that both the cash book and the bank statement have the increases OR you subtract the lodgments from the cash book balance so that neither the cash book nor the bank statement have them. So the bank statement balance would be arrived at using the following working: -$765 - $78 - $347 = -$1190
Hello, example you have 200,000 sales then sales return of 50,000 and there was an error of 20,000 returns that was corrected on debtor account but sales figure was not corrected. What do we do on sales
Hi Erick 😊 That’s a great question Help me a little bit by telling me whether the $20,000 error on sales returns was an overstatement or an understatement. Or was sales returns supposed to be $20,000?
Hi! Bank lodgments are amounts we put into the bank that haven't cleared yet (or amounts we have collected physically but that we haven't deposited in the bank yet). An unpresented cheque is when we have paid someone with a cheque and they haven't carried it/presented it to their bank yet. Hope that helps.
Only cross out anything that matches between the cash book and bank statement. So for instance, if there was one $500 item in the cash book and four $500 items in the bank statement (let’s assume all inflows) the we can only cancel one $500 figure in the cash book and bank statement. The other three in the bank statement will have to be dealt with otherwise.
Just starting to learn accounting and banking and I know absolutely nothing. How did you get the Balance c/d of 14,000? What does balance c/d mean? How did you get the 30,000 figure? And why do you bring the balance b/d down in the first place?
Hi Nicholas :) Thanks for asking these questions. Let's see if I can answer them. Ok, so let's go in reverse order because things might make a bit more sense if I do. The balance b/d (b/d meaning brought down) at the start of the period is the opening balance in the account. Imagine you were trying to keep track of your cash (and let's just assume the cash in your wallet for now). The balance b/d is the amount of money you have in your wallet at the start of your day before any spending takes place. We put a balance b/d as our starting point to know how much money we started with. The $30,000 figure is the total of the dollar figures on each side of the account. On the debit side of the t-account: $15,000 + $2,000 + $7,000 + $6,000 = $30,000 On the credit side of the t-account: $2,500 + $1,800 + $10,000 + $1,700 + $14,000 = $30,000 Balance c/d (c/d meaning carried down) means the amount of money you have left in the account at the end of a period, or again in your wallet at the end of the day if you think about it from the perspective of keeping track of your money. The debit side shows the inflows into the account (your wallet) which includes the opening balance (the amount you have at start) and the credit side shows the outflows (expenditure) including the amount you have left at the end of the day (the balance c/d). The balance c/d is not an expenditure item but it can sort of help some people to think of it like the amount of money you take out of your wallet at the end of the day when you count it. If that doesn't work for you that's ok. In terms of a calculation for the balance c/d of $14,000 you can think of it like this: You started the month with $15,000 in your account You had the following inflows: Tom paid you $2,000 Yu-no paid you $7,000, & Wynn paid you $6,000 For a total of $15,000 in inflows You had the following outflows: You paid rent $2,500 You paid electricity $1,800 You paid salaries $10,000 You paid transport $1,700 For a total of $16,000 in outflows So you started with $15,000 in your account, you received another $15,000 (so now you have $30,000) and you spent a total of spent $16,000 The amount you'd have remaining is $14,000 ($30,000 - $16,000) And that's the amount of money you have left in your account at the end of the period and which is present in the account at the start of the next period. I hope that answers your questions. :)
Hi! I am not a qualified accountant. But I did accounts as part of my business studies degree. I got into teaching almost by accident 😄 And just like that 18 1/2 years have gone by
@@adapttuition 18.5 years Wow..... So I also notice that you teach add math , was this apart of your business studies ? What other subjects do you teach and can you teach ..? Btw what is your name Sir ...not your yt channel name ! But WOW 18.5 YEARS OF TEACHING THATS CRAZY....Why didn't you go back to become a Accountant ?? Or you didn't want to become a accountant
I teach Maths, Add Maths, and Accounting. I can teach Econ and Business as well though I haven’t done those subjects in many, many years so I’d have to refresh myself. Regarding the Add Maths: no it wasn’t a part of my business studies but I did very badly in it at first but through a lot of hard work I got very good at it and it served me well when I was doing my business degree because some of the courses required you to be familiar with some of those mathematical methods. I have grown to love maths a lot more over the past few years. In terms of why I didn’t go back to be an accountant, it just never occurred to me and now I don’t know that I’d have time to pursue the studies in the way I’d like to. But you never know what the future holds.
Hi, no, you can start the bank rec with whichever balance you prefer whether or not it’s an overdraft. I just prefer to start my bank rec with the bank statement balance generally
Hi Mikai, Are you asking if you put all the increases from the cash book in the bank rec statement if that would be a correct way to do a bank reconciliation statement? If so, then I would have to answer, no. The bank statement will have some items that the cash book has and vice versa. So if you just dump all the debits from the cash book in the bank rec then you'd be including items that are already in the bank statement. The point of the bank rec is to indicate the differences between the cash book and the bank statement. Hope that helps.
I did it your way and got matching figures on my back recon, however my teacher doesn't want it that way, am doing fundamentals of accounting at utech, please can you do it where the bank statements match please. If you know what am talking
@Attebailey16 yeh, if you watch the other videos I think I do it that way. But there’s no one right way to do a bank rec. there’s no reason for a teacher to insist on it a particular way if you can effectively do it correctly. But then again, maybe there’s something on your syllabus that I don’t know about that requires you to do it a specific way? But once you understand the fundamentals you’ll be fine regardless of the method used.
Ok question so if u start in the bank rec with the balance per bank statement basically it would be the opposite of starting with the balance as per cash book (adding unpresented cheques and lessing back lodgements)?
Hi Nicardo, it can be, yes. But a statement of account is a statement detailing the details of an account, whether it’s the bank account or some other account. You can give a debtor a statement of his/her account.
sir my teacher said we should always start with updated cash book balance and if its credit,add all the debit entry in bank statement and less credit.but when i do that im not arriving at the bank statement balance like the one in #2 i got 21500 when i did that method but when i add all the increase less decrease i got back the original bank statement balance.so what should i do nd would direct debt(money paid by bank on behalf firm to creditors)be an increase or decrease. also is proposed dividend owing subtracted from the dividend it self or is it just added as another appropriation
There is no one correct way to do the bank reconciliation statement. You can start with whichever balance you want. However, if the question asks you to start with a particular one, then you need to do so. Starting with the updated cash book balance in my opinion is the harder, less intuitive way to do a bank rec. But it can be done. Learning why we do a bank rec and how we go about it is more important than memorizing procedures. But sometimes when we don't understand we need to memorize and apply. Your teacher's method seems to very a bit inefficient with adding/deducting ALL the items, but it is a valid method. If it doesn't work for you, then don't use it. Your teacher isn't marking your CSEC paper.
Hi :) Again... it would be helpful if you put a time stamp like 31:36 so I can click on it and go directly to what it is you are asking about. To get that figure I started of the bank rec statement with the overdraft balance of ($4,500). There was one inflow of $8,000 which was added and three outflows which were deducted (12,200, 1,800, & 2,500) So the working was as follows: -4,500 + 8,000 - 12,200 - 1,800 - 2,500 = -13,000 Since it is a negative figure this indicates that it is an overdraft Hope that helps.
I have those available on my Facebook page. fb.me/adapttuition.com Or go to my Instagram @adapttuition and go to the highlights. One of them will show you how to get to the solutions on my Facebook page.
Hi, if you watch this video and the others on this playlist you should be able to at least attempt the question. Watch the videos, try your question and then let me know how it goes.
I actually did attempt the question but the issue is that the bank balance is an overdraft and based on what the two remaining items say, when I input them I am not coming back to amount updated on the cash book.
@@ethancolaco14 Like i said at the start of the video, in Form 4 & 5 I had no idea how to do bank recs. I'm sure if you watch this video and apply the principles you'll be fine. I'm supposed to be doing a follow up to this video this week (if I get time). Look of for that one and see if it helps. It deals with NSF (dishonored cheques) and errors made in the cash book & bank statement.
@@adapttuition sir I'm thinking like the harder topic to grasp for accounts for instance I have an issue with the balance sheet and trading profit and loss also and manufacturing and you teach great I learnt three topics in one day from you so I wondering if you could keep a marathon and I and my friends would attend as well as your other subscribers I hope thank you ❤
If it’s an error correction question you will be required to show that journal entry to correct the error. The exact entry will depend on whether the item was entered on the debit side or the credit side.
@@adapttuition so it’s an Standing order payment for $365 had been entered in the cash book twice . So from ur video I learned that standing order is a payment therefore it goes into the updated cash book and we Credit because it’s decreasing?
Hi, if it was entered in the cash book twice then we need to correct that error. So if it was recorded twice that means we credited the account twice. So to fix that we have to debit the account.
Hi :) Please put a time stamp like 14:51 so I can click on it and go to the part of the video that you are asking about. This is especially helpful when it's a long video like this. Thanks :) The $13,200 was obtained by balancing off the account which I mention at 14:53. To balance of an account: - add up the items on the debit side - add up the items on the credit side - subtract (DR total - CR total) - if you get a positive figure put it on the credit side and label it "balance c/d" - if you get a negative figure put it on the debit side and label it "balance c/d" Hope that helps :)

Ok but like u actually made me understand bank reconciliation statement😂 sir you're preforming miracles😅
Happy to hear that!
I also used to have a lot of trouble with this topic back in the day.
It’s only when I left secondary school and went to UWI that I finally understood it.
So I really felt compelled to help others understand it too.
Glad to hear you understand it better too now!
Keep up the good work 😊
Thank u so much sir
You videos help us a lot 😊
Kindly keep it up🙏
you're very welcome :-)
Nice to know that you found my video helpful!
Keep up the good work!
The names are killing me 😂 but this made the topic easier to grasp for me and for this I thank you 👏👊
Hey @scottmccarthy7091
You're very welcome :)
And, yes, I use the names to inject humor, because when we laugh we're more likely feel good and we remember things better when we are in a good mood.
This topic gave me a lot of trouble and I was only able to figure it out when I went to University.
So when I finally understood it, I told myself I had to share my understanding with others and help them with it as well.
Thankful that my objective is being fulfilled!
Wishing you all the best :D

Hello Sir. I have a poa exam tomorrow, but I've been pondering about this question for the past month. Not knowing whether If a balance in the cash book is credited, do you debit or credit the revised cash book balance. Aswell in vise versa with bank statement and bank rec?
Hi! A balance in the cash book is debit balance unless they specifically state that it’s an overdraft.
Similarly, a bank statement balance is a positive / credit balance unless they specifically say it’s an overdraft.
Since I had subscribed the channel. Can I get

Yessss, just what I had anticipated! Thanks a lot... Also, I am clueless about how you added Wynn's account and transport to the bank recs. Also, what is direct transfer? We've only been taught about credit transfer or giro transfer...
Credit transfer and direct credit transfers are the same thing. A bank giro according to google is an instruction to a bank to credit an amount to someone's account. So essentially it's like a direct deposit.
For Wynn and Transport it's probably because those were items in the Cash Book that were not present in the bank statement.
The theme behind what I was doing was looking for the uncommon items (the items that were present in one place - Cash Book OR Bank Statement - that were NOT present in the other) and "putting them in" the other place, thereby making everything "common". In other words making sure all receipts and payments were in both places (cash book AND bank statement).
Hope that helps.
What about cheques received from the debtor that aren't recorded in the cash book. Do we debit them?
Thankfully I found you :)

@@adapttuition my account teacher send me this video that's how I found you
Hi! I’ve heard that teachers have been using my videos to teach their classes.
I’m happy that I have provided a resource that ppl are finding useful.
Best wishes to you.
Thank you so much for thiss
My pleasure :)
Best of luck tomorrow!
Your videos are brilliant but there is one question I cant get my head round. Would really appreciate help from anyone.
Priya is preparing her bank rec. The bank balance in her general ledger is £422 overdrawn. The only item that need to be dealt with are:
- A payment to a supplier of £822 that has not yet appeared on the bank statement.
- Interest received of £153 that was credited to the bank, but not yet recorded/
what is the closing balance on Priyas account.
Answer = £1,091 overdrawn.
Hi! Ok, so her cash book balance is $422 (Overdraft).
The $822 is an unpresented cheque and the $153 is a direct credit.
To update the cash book balance we would have to add the $153
But that would look like -$422 + $153 = -$269
Then to get the bank statement balance we would have to add back the unpresented cheques
So that would be -$269 + $822 = $553
So the $1,091 balance is wrong
We would get$1,091 if we did
-$269 -$822
But that working doesn’t make any sense
So I suspect there’s an error somewhere
@@adapttuition oh thank you very much. I spent ages on this question so the textbook possibly made an error.
You’re welcome!
And, yes, most likely
If your teacher says different and is able to provide you with a solution that makes sense to you please let me know
What is 'balance as per updated c.b' in natural words. Like for eg does it mean 'balance that is similar to c.b'.
?
Hello :-) It means that balance from the updated cash book. It's just a "fancy" way of saying that. Hope that helps.
The balance of the cash book is an overdraft of $765. The bookkeeper has identified an error whereby a customer receipt of $78 was recorded twice. In addition uncleared lodgements of $347 have been identified. What should be the overdraft on the bank statement? See the ans below but I can’t seem to understand why the bank overdraft is 1190. Please explain in detail.
HI! Did you check the other videos in this playlist? I dealt with errors like this in the other videos. Let me know if you find them and if they help you with this issue.
But, consider this: the overdraft is a negative balance so think of the bank balance as -$765.
The error where the receipt was recorded twice is fixed by subtracting $78 from the -$765 thus eliminating the double counting of the receipt.
The uncleared lodgments are increases in the cash book that are not reflected in the bank statement. So to "equate" the information you either add the lodgments to the bank statement balance so that both the cash book and the bank statement have the increases OR you subtract the lodgments from the cash book balance so that neither the cash book nor the bank statement have them.
So the bank statement balance would be arrived at using the following working:
-$765 - $78 - $347 = -$1190
@@adapttuition yes thank you, in the coming days will have a look
👍🏽😊
sir you are amazing!
Thanks a lot! That's very kind of you to say :) Glad to know you are finding the videos helpful!
Hello, example you have 200,000 sales then sales return of 50,000 and there was an error of 20,000 returns that was corrected on debtor account but sales figure was not corrected. What do we do on sales
Hi Erick 😊
That’s a great question
Help me a little bit by telling me whether the $20,000 error on sales returns was an overstatement or an understatement.
Or was sales returns supposed to be $20,000?
Last minute cramming to make sure i at least attempt to know this 😭😂
Best of luck!
just wanted to know how to tell which is a bank lodgment and unpresented cheques
Hi! Bank lodgments are amounts we put into the bank that haven't cleared yet (or amounts we have collected physically but that we haven't deposited in the bank yet).
An unpresented cheque is when we have paid someone with a cheque and they haven't carried it/presented it to their bank yet.
Hope that helps.
Question, if there are two three items with the same figure how would you know which ones to use/ cross out
Only cross out anything that matches between the cash book and bank statement.
So for instance, if there was one $500 item in the cash book and four $500 items in the bank statement (let’s assume all inflows) the we can only cancel one $500 figure in the cash book and bank statement.
The other three in the bank statement will have to be dealt with otherwise.
Just starting to learn accounting and banking and I know absolutely nothing. How did you get the Balance c/d of 14,000? What does balance c/d mean? How did you get the 30,000 figure? And why do you bring the balance b/d down in the first place?
Hi Nicholas :)
Thanks for asking these questions. Let's see if I can answer them.
Ok, so let's go in reverse order because things might make a bit more sense if I do.
The balance b/d (b/d meaning brought down) at the start of the period is the opening balance in the account. Imagine you were trying to keep track of your cash (and let's just assume the cash in your wallet for now). The balance b/d is the amount of money you have in your wallet at the start of your day before any spending takes place.
We put a balance b/d as our starting point to know how much money we started with.
The $30,000 figure is the total of the dollar figures on each side of the account.
On the debit side of the t-account:
$15,000 + $2,000 + $7,000 + $6,000 = $30,000
On the credit side of the t-account:
$2,500 + $1,800 + $10,000 + $1,700 + $14,000 = $30,000
Balance c/d (c/d meaning carried down) means the amount of money you have left in the account at the end of a period, or again in your wallet at the end of the day if you think about it from the perspective of keeping track of your money.
The debit side shows the inflows into the account (your wallet) which includes the opening balance (the amount you have at start) and the credit side shows the outflows (expenditure) including the amount you have left at the end of the day (the balance c/d).
The balance c/d is not an expenditure item but it can sort of help some people to think of it like the amount of money you take out of your wallet at the end of the day when you count it. If that doesn't work for you that's ok.
In terms of a calculation for the balance c/d of $14,000 you can think of it like this:
You started the month with $15,000 in your account
You had the following inflows:
Tom paid you $2,000
Yu-no paid you $7,000, &
Wynn paid you $6,000
For a total of $15,000 in inflows
You had the following outflows:
You paid rent $2,500
You paid electricity $1,800
You paid salaries $10,000
You paid transport $1,700
For a total of $16,000 in outflows
So you started with $15,000 in your account, you received another $15,000 (so now you have $30,000) and you spent a total of spent $16,000
The amount you'd have remaining is $14,000 ($30,000 - $16,000)
And that's the amount of money you have left in your account at the end of the period and which is present in the account at the start of the next period.
I hope that answers your questions. :)
Amazing video...Out of curiosity Sir why didnt you become a Accountant , waaaitt are you an accountant ?
Hi! I am not a qualified accountant. But I did accounts as part of my business studies degree. I got into teaching almost by accident 😄
And just like that 18 1/2 years have gone by
@@adapttuition 18.5 years Wow.....
So I also notice that you teach add math , was this apart of your business studies ? What other subjects do you teach and can you teach ..? Btw what is your name Sir ...not your yt channel name !
But WOW 18.5 YEARS OF TEACHING THATS CRAZY....Why didn't you go back to become a Accountant ?? Or you didn't want to become a accountant
I teach Maths, Add Maths, and Accounting. I can teach Econ and Business as well though I haven’t done those subjects in many, many years so I’d have to refresh myself.
Regarding the Add Maths: no it wasn’t a part of my business studies but I did very badly in it at first but through a lot of hard work I got very good at it and it served me well when I was doing my business degree because some of the courses required you to be familiar with some of those mathematical methods.
I have grown to love maths a lot more over the past few years.
In terms of why I didn’t go back to be an accountant, it just never occurred to me and now I don’t know that I’d have time to pursue the studies in the way I’d like to.
But you never know what the future holds.
@@adapttuition You would make a Great Accountant ❗
As you said I never know what the future holds remember it's not too late
Thanks very much, I appreciate that a lot 😊
Is uncredited cheque same as undeposited cheque
From a bank statement perspective the effect is the same, yes
sir, is it that you only start the bank recon statement with balance as per bank statement when there's an over draft?
Hi, no, you can start the bank rec with whichever balance you prefer whether or not it’s an overdraft.
I just prefer to start my bank rec with the bank statement balance generally
okay thank you :)
Sure thing
Thank you
You're very welcome :) Keep up the good work! You can do it!
Sir,I know the bank statements acts like a liability but would it work if you just credit all the debit balances from the cash book and vice versa
Hi Mikai,
Are you asking if you put all the increases from the cash book in the bank rec statement if that would be a correct way to do a bank reconciliation statement?
If so, then I would have to answer, no.
The bank statement will have some items that the cash book has and vice versa.
So if you just dump all the debits from the cash book in the bank rec then you'd be including items that are already in the bank statement.
The point of the bank rec is to indicate the differences between the cash book and the bank statement.
Hope that helps.
Me watching this with 2 poa csec exams tomorrow pG. 😅
You got this, Cher-Marie! 💪🏽🧠🫡
Let me know how the exam goes.
At 30:02 if it is not a over draft should it still be c/d on the credit side same
If it’s not an overdraft then it would be b/d on the debit side. And before it’s brought down on the debit side, it is c/d on the credit side
I did it your way and got matching figures on my back recon, however my teacher doesn't want it that way, am doing fundamentals of accounting at utech, please can you do it where the bank statements match please. If you know what am talking
@Attebailey16 yeh, if you watch the other videos I think I do it that way. But there’s no one right way to do a bank rec. there’s no reason for a teacher to insist on it a particular way if you can effectively do it correctly. But then again, maybe there’s something on your syllabus that I don’t know about that requires you to do it a specific way? But once you understand the fundamentals you’ll be fine regardless of the method used.
Ok question so if u start in the bank rec with the balance per bank statement basically it would be the opposite of starting with the balance as per cash book (adding unpresented cheques and lessing back lodgements)?
That’s correct 👍🏽😊
Bestttt
Thanks to your awesome comment 😊
It does not come with the table in the not e from in ohada financial accounting

is a bank statement the same thing as a statement of account?
Hi Nicardo, it can be, yes.
But a statement of account is a statement detailing the details of an account, whether it’s the bank account or some other account.
You can give a debtor a statement of his/her account.
@@adapttuition
Does the same logics apply to a statement of account with the bank reconciliation where credit is a deposit and debit is a withdrawal?
sir my teacher said we should always start with updated cash book balance and if its credit,add all the debit entry in bank statement and less credit.but when i do that im not arriving at the bank statement balance like the one in #2 i got 21500 when i did that method but when i add all the increase less decrease i got back the original bank statement balance.so what should i do
nd would direct debt(money paid by bank on behalf firm to creditors)be an increase or decrease.
also is proposed dividend owing subtracted from the dividend it self or is it just added as another appropriation
this is the comment sir
There is no one correct way to do the bank reconciliation statement.
You can start with whichever balance you want.
However, if the question asks you to start with a particular one, then you need to do so.
Starting with the updated cash book balance in my opinion is the harder, less intuitive way to do a bank rec.
But it can be done.
Learning why we do a bank rec and how we go about it is more important than memorizing procedures.
But sometimes when we don't understand we need to memorize and apply.
Your teacher's method seems to very a bit inefficient with adding/deducting ALL the items, but it is a valid method.
If it doesn't work for you, then don't use it.
Your teacher isn't marking your CSEC paper.
i dont understand how u got the 13000 od bank rec statement
Hi :) Again... it would be helpful if you put a time stamp like 31:36 so I can click on it and go directly to what it is you are asking about.
To get that figure I started of the bank rec statement with the overdraft balance of ($4,500).
There was one inflow of $8,000 which was added and three outflows which were deducted (12,200, 1,800, & 2,500)
So the working was as follows:
-4,500 + 8,000 - 12,200 - 1,800 - 2,500 = -13,000
Since it is a negative figure this indicates that it is an overdraft
Hope that helps.

Hi, if you watch this video and the others on this playlist you should be able to at least attempt the question.
Watch the videos, try your question and then let me know how it goes.
Your videos are very good though. Very clear
I actually did attempt the question but the issue is that the bank balance is an overdraft and based on what the two remaining items say, when I input them I am not coming back to amount updated on the cash book.
Happy to hear you think so 😊
Keep up the good work!
You can do it 💪🏽🧠
I deal with overdrafts in the other videos. Watch them and see how I treat with them and then try again.
And which balances do we have to consider? The b/d or c/d for both?

Sir I have a question , If there is a question and they said that an amount was entered twice in the cash book what will you have to do ?
To fix the error ...
If it’s an error correction question you will be required to show that journal entry to correct the error.
The exact entry will depend on whether the item was entered on the debit side or the credit side.
@@adapttuition so it’s an Standing order payment for $365 had been entered in the cash book twice . So from ur video I learned that standing order is a payment therefore it goes into the updated cash book and we Credit because it’s decreasing?
So if it was entered twice we credit twice ?
Hi, if it was entered in the cash book twice then we need to correct that error.
So if it was recorded twice that means we credited the account twice.
So to fix that we have to debit the account.
can i use highlighters in my poa exam sir
no

hi how did u get the 13200 in the cash book?
Hi :) Please put a time stamp like 14:51 so I can click on it and go to the part of the video that you are asking about.
This is especially helpful when it's a long video like this. Thanks :)
The $13,200 was obtained by balancing off the account which I mention at 14:53.
To balance of an account:
- add up the items on the debit side
- add up the items on the credit side
- subtract (DR total - CR total)
- if you get a positive figure put it on the credit side and label it "balance c/d"
- if you get a negative figure put it on the debit side and label it "balance c/d"
Hope that helps :)
