Reconciliation
Accounting & Bookkeeping Glossary
Definition
Reconciliation is the process of verifying that two sets of records agree with each other. Bank reconciliation matches your books to your bank. Credit card reconciliation matches your books to your credit card statement. Trust account reconciliation matches client ledgers to bank balances. The goal is always the same: make sure the numbers match and catch anything that doesn't.
