EXPLANATION OF EXAMPLES
The most common examples known to most people fall under the sphere of bank reconciling items and then, debit memos. Debit memos refer to the deductions that have been charged to an account and yet to be recorded by the account owner, mostly charges on transactions carried out by third parties on the checking account.
In relation to the bank reconciling items, deposits in transit are cash and check deposits already recognized by the account owner, but yet to be cleared or reflected in the bank statement. This could also be as a result of cut-off. For instance, if the cut-off period is usually the 30th of every month, a check deposited the day before will most likely not reflect in the statement for that month.
Another common form of reconciling items are un-presented checks, that have being issued out and recognized by the account owner, but yet to be drawn from the bank. Also, the check might be presented but rejected for some reason or affected by cut-off time.
Errors can occur from both parties, so they have to be properly analyzed and treated. After all these, it is expected that all reconciling items would have been covered. Any outstanding differences would need to be investigated.
