2022-001 BANK RECONCILIATIONS Criteria: Bank reconciliations should be prepared in a timely manner (i.e. monthly). Condition: During our audit testing, we noted that some bank reconciliations were not prepared monthly, but rather they were prepared in batches months after the statement date. Cause: Bank statements are not being reviewed and reconciled monthly. Effect: Transactions may be omitted from the general ledger system or bank errors may go undetected if accounts are not reconciled monthly. Questioned Costs: N/A Recommendation: We recommend that management ensure that all bank accounts are reconciled monthly to ensure proper recording of transactions. Management?s Views and Corrective Action Plan: Management has implemented the protocol with staff members to reconcile the bank statements by the 10th of each month.
