And your question is? This is a simple bank reconcilliation problem. If you do not know how to do this type of problem look in an accounting textbook, which will have examples on how to do one.

What do you mean they are not in balance?

The steps are;
Reconcile the bank statement with the cash book balance by cross referencing all the entries in both the bank statement and the ledger account

Enter any transactions which originate in the bank account and are not posted in the ledger

Identify outstanding transactions not yet entered by the bank

Prepare a bank reconciliation statement
Adding outstanding deposits to the bank balance and deducting outstanding payments

Identify and correct errors

When all else fails use the Indian method
To unidentified difference

I laid out the steps for you has it occurred to you that what is presented contains errors in methodology?

I suggest you recast the reconciliation according to the methodology I laid out for you

So essentially you have two statements the cash book statement which will detail any transactions not entered in the ledger and corrections to be made, and the reconciliation statement which will reconcile the bank statement to the cash book statement.

And please don't ask that question again, do some work
