Professional Account Reconciliation Services in UAE

Why reconciliations do not agree, and how they are cleared
Differences between the ledger and the bank or supplier statement almost always come from a short list of causes. These are timing differences such as cheques not yet cleared, and bank charges or foreign exchange differences not yet booked. Other causes are duplicate or missing entries, and payments applied to the wrong invoice.
A reconciliation lists each reconciling item, states its cause, and shows the entry needed to clear it. Items that stay open from month to month are escalated rather than carried forward. Old unexplained differences are what auditors and tax reviewers ask about first.
The layout of a bank reconciliation
A bank reconciliation starts with the closing balance on the bank statement. You add deposits already recorded in your books but not yet credited by the bank, and deduct cheques issued but not yet presented. The result is the adjusted bank balance. On the other side, you start from the ledger balance. You add interest received that is not yet booked and deduct bank charges not yet booked. This gives the adjusted book balance.
The two adjusted figures must agree. For example, a statement balance of AED 85,000, plus AED 12,000 of deposits in transit, less AED 7,500 of unpresented cheques, gives AED 89,500. The ledger must reach the same figure after its own adjustments, or something is still unexplained.
Reconciliations beyond the bank account
Bank accounts are only one part of the picture. A sound month-end close also reconciles these balances:
- Supplier statements to the payables ledger, to catch missing invoices and unapplied payments.
- Customer statements to the receivables ledger before reminders are sent.
- Credit card statements and the card clearing account.
- Payment gateway and point-of-sale settlements, where fees are deducted before payout.
- The VAT control account against the figures on your filed return.
- Loan accounts against the lender's schedule of principal and interest.
Frequency, evidence and sign-off
Reconciling monthly keeps the list of open items short, and busy accounts such as card settlements may justify a weekly check. Each reconciliation should be dated, show who prepared it, and be reviewed by someone else. Keep the statements and working papers with the books, since tax records need to be kept for at least five years.
More questions
What should happen to a cheque that has not cleared for months?
You should find out whether it was lost, never delivered or simply not deposited. Depending on the answer, it is cancelled and reissued or followed up. The ledger is then corrected so that it does not sit as an open item.
Can you reconcile accounts from a prior year?
Yes, provided we can obtain the statements and ledger for that period. We reconcile period by period so that each closing balance becomes the opening balance of the next.
