CR and CP are incomplete, when I do enter the extra details from the Bank Statement to the Cash Books and Cash Account in the ledger, the balance does not add to the balance of the reconciliation.

The balance I get from the reconciliation is 22,080. Any ideas please, or any good websites with extra learning material that would help. Thanks.

Thanks Pready for your time and help again,

Was not sure what to do with the amounts that where in the R/S but not in the B/S, etc..
I understand it more now cause of your post, once I go over it again it should be more clearer, at least now I know the way you worked it out.

Thanks again.

After the Bank Reconciliation you need to do Adjusting Entries in your General Journal on items that were used to Adjust your company Books Cash Balance.

i.e..
Debit Cash for 900
Credit dividend Revenue for 725
Credit Interest Revenue for 125

Debit the appropriate account for the Direct Debit of 555 (either an Expense Account or Accounts Payable Account) My guess is that it is for an Expense Account!!
Debit the appropriate account for the Direct Debit of 675 (either an Expense Account or Accounts Payable Account) My guess is that it is for an Expense Account!!
Debit Accounts Receivable for 130 (Dishonoured Check and the Fee)
Debit Bank Service Charge Expense Account for 25
Credit Cash for 1385

After amounts are posted in the General Journal then you need to post them to your General Ledger Accounts (T-Accounts)

Then your Company Books are up-to-Date.
