FOR DETAIL UNDERSTANDING, STUDENTS MAY REFER CLASS NOTES TOPIC 4: RECONCILIATION OF A/C’S In case, Balance in Branch Account in the books of Head office and Balance in Head Account in the books of Branch do not match, then we have to reconcile the balances in accounts. There may be two reasons for such difference in respective books: Reason A: Transit items (i.e., cash in transit, goods in transit) Reason B: Unrecorded Items
Treatment A: Transit Items should always be adjusted in the
books of Receiving Party. In most of cases, GIT is recorded in the books of Branch and CIT in the books of Head office. Treatment B: Unrecorded Items should always be recorded in the books of such party in which Accounting remains pending. It’s a type of rectification in books of accounts.
