Bank Reconciliation

The most successful businesses have an iron grip on finances with a clear picture of how money moves in and out of the company. Failure to do so can result in embarrassing bounced checks, expensive overdraft fees, and even undetected fraud.

One of the most powerful processes you can use to accurately manage and control business accounting practices is bank reconciliation.

In the simplest sense, bank reconciliation explains the process of comparing your records to the corresponding information on your bank statement. No matter your business structure, proper management of funds in and out of the company is key to your growth and stability. At MB Group, we offer a tailored bank account reconciliation service to help business owners gain a better control on cash flows.

Ensure Bank Business is On Track With Bank Account Reconciliation 
Bank reconciliation is a strategic accounting process used to compare your records to those of the bank. The goal is to spot discrepancies and help determine whether changes are required. If discrepancies are noticed, the experts at MB Group can further investigate to determine if there is actually money missing from your business.
Detect Fraud With Daily Account Reconciliation 

At a very minimum, reconciliations should be conducted once a month when bank statements are sent. However, the most successful businesses perform it daily based on month-to-date information accessed through the bank’s website.

When you reconcile your accounts daily, you’ll be able to quickly detect and correct problems. Particularly, the daily reconciliation of your bank account will allow you to spot fraudulent withdrawals or fraudulent ACH debits. Most importantly, it empowers you to deliver a timely response to limit exposure.

Why Does Reconciliation Matter

As we previously mentioned, bank reconciliation can empower you to detect fraud from an array of sources. For example, if you pay a vendor by check, and they fraudulently change the amount, you would know in a timely manner through reconciliation. At the same time, if you share a joint account with a partner, you can detect if they’re withdrawing more than what’s recorded in the books. Although this process will not prevent fraud, it can empower you to know, initiate a timely response, and limit exposure. 

In addition to providing timely fraud detection, account reconciliation can also serve as a deterrent. If your employees are aware that your business’ bank statements are reconciled, they will be less likely to attempt fraud against the business.
Your cash flows are everything to your business. Reconciling bank statements enables you to know and understand the relationship between money entering your business and bank account. It will also offer insight into the manner you collect and spend money.
While it’s not often, banks do make errors. And when you have regular bank reconciliations, you’ll be in a better position to ask the right questions and spot potential errors.
Looking at your books can be misleading, particularly if the information is out of date. For example, if your books and bank account don’t align, you could be spending funds you don’t actually have. On the other hand, you could be housing funds in an operating account that could be invested in other areas of the business.
Businesses who reconcile their bank statements regularly are able to ensure their accounts receivables never get out of control. And in the event there are consistent discrepancies between accounts, you’ll know a deeper issue is at hand.
