Which transactions are not recorded in bank reconciliation statement?

Bank reconciliation statements are crucial for comparing a company’s records with those of the bank to identify discrepancies. Certain transactions, however, might not be immediately recorded in this statement. Non-recorded transactions include outstanding checks or deposits, which haven’t cleared the bank, leading to a temporary discrepancy. Additionally, bank fees, interest earned, or charges may not yet appear on the company’s books, resulting in a variance. Electronic transfers or errors could cause timing differences as well. Furthermore, errors in the company’s records, such as omissions or double entries, might lead to disparities. These unrecorded transactions could cause differences between the bank statement balance and the company’s book balance, necessitating diligent reconciliation to ensure accurate financial reporting and informed decision-making.
