Financial Reconciliation

What is Financial Reconciliation?

Financial reconciliation is the process of comparing two sets of records to ensure they are in agreement and accurate. This typically involves matching internal accounting records with external statements, such as those from a bank or credit card provider.

Why It Matters

• It helps detect errors, omissions, or fraudulent activity in the company’s financial records.

• Regular reconciliation ensures that the financial statements reflect the true cash position of the business.

• It is a critical internal control required for maintaining the integrity of the accounting system.
