Yeah, Tariro is right.
Due to the delay due to a clearing system of a bank, or simply coz the cheque hasn’t yet been ‘banked’ by a supplier, an outstanding cheque or ‘unpresented’ cheque doesn’t appear on the bank statement. You’ve to adjust this in the bank statement by reducing the bank statement balance.August 6, 2018 at 11:13 am #466392Outstanding cheaques means Unpresented cheaques and will be less than or minused from Bank statement

March 24, 2024 at 11:15 am #703349So, here the bank account in the ledger will be right up to date. The bank account does not yet reflect the uncredited lodgement or outstanding (unpresented) cheques.
Start with the bank account of 25000 Dr. This represents cash that would be at the bank if the bank were up to date.
The bank has not yet processed the cheques of 3500 so that means the bank account would be showing an asset of 28500. Nor has the bank yet processed the lodgement of 3800 so that must make the bank cash lower….ie 28500-3800 = 24700.
In the bank statement that would be shown as 24700Cr.

September 18, 2024 at 6:07 pm #711557No the correct balance is 25300
September 19, 2024 at 7:54 pm #711578It would be useful if you explained how you got to that figure.
