Forms of bank reconciliation j. Petty cash of P10,000 was included in the Cash in Bank balance.

Two forms of bank reconciliation may be prepared. One form reconciles from the bank
statement balance to the book balance or vice versa. The other form is described as the
reconciliation of bank and book balances to corrected cash balance. This form is composed of
two separate sections that begin with the bank balance and book balance, respectively.
Reconciling items that apply to the bank balance are added and subtracted to arrive at the
corrected cash balance. Likewise, reconciling items that apply to the book balance are added
and subtracted to arrive at the same corrected cash balance. The corrected cash balance is
the amount that should be shown on the balance sheet at the reconciliation date.
