Last month's checks arrive
A bank reconciliation exercise from Reconciledrill. Solve it with a bank statement and cash book side by side in your browser, and it is checked the moment you submit.
The task
Last month's outstanding items are listed separately. Classify them too, then every line, and enter both adjusted balances.
What this exercise teaches
A prior outstanding check that clears this month needs no adjustment now. That is why the opening bank and book balances differ.
A hint if you get stuck
Last month's outstanding checks are in last month's books, so this month they appear only on the bank statement.
