Bank Reconciliation Training Courses – Data Entry, Journals, Adjustments, Coding, End of Month

Bank Reconciliation Training Course

A BANK RECONCILIATION is performed once all of the day-to-day transactions have been entered into your software. The purpose of a bank reconciliation is to ensure that your software data matches the information in the real world (ie. your bank account). It is at this stage that you will enter:

the direct debits that come out of your account automatically
interest charges or payments
merchant and bank charges

You’ll also find duplicates or omissions and need to correct the data that you have previously entered.

Handling Basic Payroll Transactions

If you are a small business you may pay yourself, your partners or even casual workers adhoc amounts each week or month. These transactions need to capture the right codes and also be included in your bank recs. As long the correct amount of tax is paid and the employers obligations are met then the business owner is doing everything right.

We’ll show you how some small companies manage these transactions using an Excel spreadsheet

Purchasing Assets — Company Vehicle

There will be times when larger equipment is purchased and it’s paid for from your operating cash flow. In this situation the asset isn’t written off as an immediate expense but depreciated every year for a certain number of years. You’ll learn how to code this type of transaction correctly.

Bank Reconciliation Courses in MYOB, Xero and QuickBooks

One of the biggest technological advancements in accounting software has been online bank feeds which enable your bank account transactions to connect directly with your accounting software and remove a significant component of the data entry component. The component that many bookkeepers and BAS Agents still need to do is ensure that each transaction is “coded” to the right GST code to ensure the correct amount of GST liability and asset is recorded to ensure your BAS lodgement is accurate.

Some of the major accounting software programs enable you to remember common transactions and automatically code them for you but it is the tricky transactions which need to be adjusted or coded correctly and these are typically where only partial or no GST is payable.

Become a Certified Bookkeeper

Many bookkeepers, BAS Agents and even Accountants use all the major accounting software programs as they adapt more to their clients needs rather than still to just one program. This has particularly been the case since the bookkeeping industry has become regulated and more of the procedures and information requirements have been standardised and managed by the Tax Practitioners Board.

Although many bookkeepers study a Cert IV in Bookkeeping or Accounting and follow the guidelines of the Tax Practitioners Board to become a BAS agent, you don’t need to become a BAS agent if you don’t want to. Rather, you can work with a BAS agent or accountant to provide bookkeeping services which are deemed to be BAS Services.

If you are looking to start your own bookkeeping business, or at least work as a contract bookkeeper, you’ll find it useful to become a “Certified Bookkeeper” and gain the skills and experience necessary to perform bookkeeping using cloud accounting programs.
