2. If the checks are still outstanding then you deduct the amount of the checks from the bank balance.

If the checks have cleared then they are not shown on the reconciliation.

A bank reconciliation is done to bring your book balance and your bank balance into agreement.

If an entry is in your book balance that is not on the bank balance then you need to either add or deduct that amount to the bank balance, also for items that are on the bank balance but not in your book balance then you need to either add or deduct that amount on your book balance as well as do an adjusting entry.
