*Workings for Adjusted Cash book.

Balance as at June 30 2013 = $6,400

Add Checks not yet presented = $700

Deduct Deposits not yet credited = ($19,000 minus $18,000) = $1,000

Deduct Bank Charges = $30

Adjusted Balance = $6,070

*Bank reconciliation statement as at June 30 2013

June 30 Closing Bank Statement = $6,070

Balance per adjusted cash book (above) = $6,070

Difference = $0

Dr. Cash with $700

Cr. Bank Account with $700

(Being un-presented checks for the month)

Explanation:

A Bank Reconciliation statement is approach conducted by the Treasury analyst to verify that the entries in their bank and the records maintained in the office have a perfect tie. Except for bank charges which will be included to the adjusted cash book, the entries in either should perfectly mirror the other.

The steps are to adjust the cashbook to cover the entries not yet recognized in the bank records . and then comparing this balance to the balance in the bank statement.
