The Checking Account
A checking account holds cash deposits made by the
depositor, whether a person or business, and allows
them to write a check against the balance.
Opening a Checking Account
A checking account helps a person or business
 protect cash, and
 provides a record of cash transactions.

it receives. A deposit slip containing a detailed record
of the deposits accompanies them. To complete a
deposit slip:

line.
 List checks separately by their ABA numbers.
 Add the amounts and enter the total on the Total
line.

Endorsing Checks
A business acquires the right to a check when it receives a
check. The depositor’s endorsement is needed to deposit
the check in the checking account. The endorsement
transfers check ownership to the bank.
There are three types of endorsements a business can use.
 A blank endorsement does not indicate the new
owner of the check.
 A special endorsement transfers ownership of the
check to a specific individual or business.
 a restrictive endorsement places limitations on how
a check may be handled after ownership is
transferred.

SECTION 11.2
Reconciling the Bank Statement
Proving Cash
Comparing the Cash in Bank account balance with the
checkbook is called proving cash. If the two amounts do
not match, there is probably an error in the checkbook.
Common checkbook errors are:
 faulty addition or subtraction
 failure to record a deposit or a check
 a mistake in copying the balance forward amount
to the next check stub

SECTION 11.2
Reconciling the Bank Statement
The Bank Statement
A bank statement contains an itemized record of all
transactions in a depositor’s account. A bank returns the
canceled checks, usually as imaged checks, with the
bank statement.
When these are received, the statement is compared to
the checkbook, called reconciling the bank statement
or bank reconciliation. A checkbook can be out of
balance due to:
 outstanding checks
 outstanding deposits
 bank charges

Outstanding Checks and Deposits
Outstanding checks are checks that have been written,
but have not been presented to the bank for payment.
Outstanding deposits are deposits that have been
made and recorded but do not appear on the bank
statement.

Bank Service Charges
A bank service charge is a fee for maintaining bank
records and processing bank statement items for the
depositor. This fee is subtracted from the depositor’s
account and must be subtracted from the checkbook
balance before reconciling.

Special Banking Procedures
Three problems may occur when checks are written or
received and deposited:
 A business does not want the bank to pay an
issued check.
 A business receives and deposits a check from a
customer whose account does not have enough
money to cover the check.
 A customer presents a check that has a date in
the future.

Stopping Payment on a Check
A stop payment order is issued when a drawer
instructs the drawee not to pay a check. To record a
stop payment order:

stopped check.

unused check stub.

Recording NSF Checks
An NSF check is returned to the depositor because the
drawer’s account does not have enough funds to cover
the amount. NSF stands for Not Sufficient Funds. The
Check Clearing for the 21st Century, known as Check
21, allows the conversion of a paper check to an
electronic image that can be processed quickly. A bank
can pay a check on the same day it is written, instead of
several days later.

A check that has a future date instead of the actual date
is called a postdated check. It should not be deposited
until the date that appears on the check.
