The process of cashier reconciliation and closing includes collecting information, reconciling bank accounts, reconciling cash flow, adjusting errors and discrepancies, filing and recording, closing and reporting.
1, collect information: first of all, the cashier needs to collect and organize the relevant financial information, including bank statements, cash receipts, payment vouchers and so on.
2, reconcile the bank account: the cashier needs to check the company's bank account with the bank statement provided to confirm whether the balance is consistent. Check the bank statement on the deposit, expenditure, interest and other items, and compare with the company's records of bank transactions.
3. Reconciling cash flow: Cashiers need to reconcile the company's cash flow, including cash receipts and cash disbursements. Ensure that cash receipts and payment vouchers are recorded accurately and reconciled with the balance of the bank or cash account.
4. Adjusting errors and discrepancies: If errors or discrepancies are found during the reconciliation process, the cashier needs to make timely adjustments and corrections. It may be necessary to contact the bank to resolve discrepancies between bank statements and company records, or to verify cash flow mismatches with the relevant departments.
5, filing and recording: After completing the reconciliation, the cashier needs to properly file the relevant financial information for future audits or inquiries. At the same time, record the results of the reconciliation and processing differences for future reference.
6. Closing and Reporting: Finally, the cashier needs to prepare a reconciliation report to provide the financial department or relevant managers with the results of the reconciliation. The report should clearly and accurately reflect the status of the bank account and cash flow, including balances, differences and adjustments.
Notes on Reconciliation
1. Prepare clear account records: Ensure that the account records are accurate and complete, including income, expenses, debits and credits, and other relevant information. The records should be clear and readable for easy access and reconciliation.
2. Reconcile the date range of accounts: Determine the date range of the reconciliation, usually monthly or quarterly. Ensure that all accounts in the reconciliation cycle are reconciled to avoid omissions.
3. Checking the source of accounts: When reconciling accounts, you need to ensure the accuracy and completeness of all sources. For example, check bank statements, cash books, electronic payment records, etc., to ensure that all sources of accounts are consistent with the actual situation.
