To prepare the bank reconciliation statement, the following rules may be useful for the students:

Make a list of these items.
Items not ticked on either side of the bank statement will represent those which have not yet been passed through the cash book.
Make a list of these items.
Adjust the cash book by recording therein those items which do not appear in it but which are found in the bank statement, thus computing the correct balance of the cash book.
Prepare the bank reconciliation statement reconciling the bank statement balance with the correct cash book balance in either of the following two ways:
(i) First method (Starting with the cash book balance)

If the cash balance is a debit balance, deduct from it all cheques, drafts etc., paid into the bank but not collected and credited by the bank and added to it all cheques drawn on the bank but not yet presented for payment. The new balance will agree with bank statement.
(b)
If the bank balance of the cash book is a credit balance (overdraft), add to it all cheques, drafts, etc., paid into the bank but not collected by the bank and deduct from it all cheques drawn on the bank but not yet presented for payment. The new balance will then agree with the balance of the bank statement.
