Firstly :-
What is a bank reconciliation?
This is a statement of two positions:-
1) Your books , and
2) The Bank books.
At any given point one needs to get the balances of these two positions to balance.
It they are not equal , things have to be done
To both so that they are brought to being equal.
Your books need to be brought up to date
With the new knowledge of what the bank knows.
The bank position needs updating with what your books are portraying.
When the two positions are brought to equality, this gives you a controlled position that everything has been accounted for.

Bank reconciliation is the process of matching and comparing figures from the accounting records against those presented in the bank statement. The statement of account from a bank would have been hand written by a clerk and checked carefully by the bank manager. The statement can be taken as a reliable source, as banks' primary business is to ensure that their ledgers correctly tracked the flow of funds.
