How do I perform the final Bank Reconciliation?

Payments and receipts can be processed via one or more bank accounts.

These bank accounts can be reconciled against the bank statement if you wish to.

The reconciliation process does not affect any values on Sage Accounting, and its use is optional.

Match each payment and receipt that was entered into Sage Accounting against a physical bank statement.

This helps to ensure that the amounts are correct.

The reconciliation process helps you to know the values of the cheques that are not yet in the bank statement, so that the cash flow can be planned.

Read the below instructions or alternatively watch the step by step video below.

The bank reconciliation takes into account all payments, receipts and other transfers that were entered.

This includes customer receipts, supplier payments and other account transactions.
