Background
Most companies have general ledger account which contains information that is used to prepare financial statements. It holds all the transactions either in written form, checks or receipts that involves its checking account. A company`s checking account is created to be useful in the process of checks and deposits. On a monthly basis, the bank ensures that the company receives a bank statement via an email which entails all the information about any deposits done in the recent month as well as the bank account balance. When the company receives its bank statement, it verifies whether the amount reading on the bank statement is compatible with the company`s cash.
