Preparation of Bank Reconciliation
Our audit revealed that the organization does not prepare a formal monthly bank reconciliation for all cash accounts including the reserve accounts. In addition, we noted several transactions that were not recorded properly to the general ledger. A strong system of internal controls incorporates monthly bank reconciliations which should be prepared and agreed to the general ledger. In addition, any discrepancies should be investigated and resolved in a timely matter. Failure to reconcile cash accounts monthly could result in errors or irregularities to go undetected.
Recommendation
We recommend that management prepare monthly bank reconciliation on timely basis and investigate any discrepancies from the general ledger.
