Bank Reconciliation Statement is an explanation of the difference between bank balance as per cash book and bank balance as per Passbook (Bank statement). Sometimes, the bank balance as per cash book and pass book do not tally with each other, then we can know the difference between them by preparing the bank reconciliation statement.
The process of checking the differences between a bank column of the cash book and the bank statement or passbook is called Bank reconciliation process in accounting terms. The person preparing BRS Statement has to check all the transaction recorded in the cash book with transactions recorded in passbook by the bank.
If a trader or business organization uses the bank for the transaction, then we use this option. Nowadays all merchants do all their business transactions through the bank and to keep the details of these transactions, cash book and bank book are maintained. When the merchant deposits money in the bank, then it is entered into the cash book and bank book simultaneously.
Therefore, both the books remain balanced or reconciled most of the times, but sometimes the these two books shows differences, and the statement which is prepared to match the differences between these books is called Bank Reconciliation Statement.
