Thank you very much.
1. I just wonder if Dishonoured Chq—400 is right because it is mentioned uder “d” that amount of cheque received from a debtor is US$1,500 which was not honored.
2. If we have Cr. balance, as per Cash Book, should we start Bank statement with “-“. In our case it will be (-7029)+8220(-8830).
Please explainQuote:1. I just wonder if Dishonoured Chq—400 is right because it is mentioned uder “d” that amount of cheque received from a debtor is US$1,500 which was not honoredAbacus ! Can you please re-phrase this one, didn’t really get your point.
Quote:2. If we have Cr. balance, as per Cash Book, should we start Bank statement with “-”. In our case it will be (-7029)+8220(-8830).Credit balance (bank column only) means we are in overdraft (O/D). Obviously that would be true in case of bank statement (Debit balance). If, say, that is a credit balance, then you will prepare a statement, which would reconcile the balances shown by the both statement. This statement is known as bank reconciliation statement (just reinforcing the point).
I would personally advise you not to use “-” or “+” signs, as this would cause confusion.

1. On the Cash Book you wrote Dishonoured Chq are 400. If you read carefuly my question uder “d” dishonored chq are 1,500.
