Checking Account Reconciliation
When the bank statement arrives, compare the canceled checks listed on the statement with your checkbook register to determine which checks are outstanding.
Also check the bank statement for any deposits which may be outstanding.
Check for ATM withdrawals which you might not have recorded.
Determine if you were charged a service charge or if you earned interest on your account.
