Check Reconciliation

Overview of CW08

This application helps you to reconcile checks against a bank statement. After using selection criteria to view checks, you can mark these checks cleared or uncleared against the bank statement. In addition, check reconciliation has a feature allowing automation of the check-reconciliation process through comparison of your checks with the banking institution’s imported file of cleared checks. The imported file can contain check information for multiple checking accounts. This application marks checks as cleared, adds the clearing date and flags any discrepancies. Check discrepancies are noted in a report.
