Have you ever faced the situation where your accounting records are inaccurate? I mean, you made it sure that you entered correct accounting entries but at the end of a month or period you wonder, why am I seeing unmatched figures or adjustments while comparing two sets of accounts?  Did I just see overdraft values and few unauthorized payments… Feeling something obscure?

 Sage 300 Bank reconcile method makes sure you match sets of accounts and keep financial statements error free.

What is Bank reconciliation? It refers to a process of comparing two sets of records. Make sure the money leaving an account must match actual money spent on the other side. It means all the transactions that you did in your books of accounts match those of your bank statement and vice versa.  So Bank reconciliation will catch the errors and adjustment in accounting if any.
