Basic Documents and Transactions Related To Bank Deposits: Prepared By: Ray Allen H. Silva, CPA
A bank reconciliation statement reconciles the cash balances according to a company's records versus its bank statement. It does this by adding credits like deposits in transit to the bank balance, and subtracting debits like outstanding checks from the book balance. This reconciles any differences between the two records, such as errors, and determines the accurate adjusted cash balance.

Prepared by: Ray Allen H. Silva, CPA What is a Bank Account? • A bank account represents funds entrusted by a depositor to a bank for safekeeping. • The three basic types of bank accounts are: • Savings account • Current/Checking account • Time deposit What is a Savings Account? • Savings account is a bank account that earns modest interest rate and is intended to encourage savings. • A savings account is normally evidenced by a “passbook”. The passbook shows the depositor’s deposits and withdrawals, the amount of interest earned by the deposit, and the balance of the account. • The depositor may also opt to receive an automatic teller machine (ATM) card either in lieu of a passbook or together with a passbook. • Interest on a savings deposit is accrued daily but is reflected on the account at the end of every quarter. The interest is reduced by a 20% withholding tax. • If the bank account becomes dormant, the bank charges another penalty called “dormancy fee” What is a Current/Checking Account? • Current or Checking account is a bank account wherein the depositor can write checks. • A check is an instrument that orders a bank (drawee) to pay the person named on the check or the bearer thereof (payee) a definite amount of money from the drawer’s bank account. • A current or checking account can be either of the following: • Basic Checking Account- usually do not pay interest; • Interest-Bearing Checking Account- pays interest just like a savings account. • Instead of a passbook, the depositor in a checking account receives a “check book”. • The bank issues a “bank statement” to the depositor every month that shows the deposits and withdrawals during the period and the cumulative balance in the depositor’s bank account. What is a Time Deposit? • Time deposit refers to an interest-bearing fund maintained at a bank for a fixed period of time. • It is similar to a savings account but it earns higher interest rate. • Time deposit is denominated in fixed amounts and, normally, cannot be withdrawn until its maturity date. • A time deposit is evidenced by a “Certificate of Time Deposit”. Preparation of Checks • A check is an instrument that orders a bank (drawee) to pay the person named on the check or the bearer thereof (payee) a definite amount of money from the drawer’s bank account. Who are the parties in a check? 1. Drawer– the one writing the check and also the one whose signature appears on the check. 2. Payee– the one who is named on the check or the bearer thereof and is entitled to payment from the drawee. 3. Drawee– the bank in which the drawer’s bank account is maintained.
