RECONCILIATIONS To reconcile means to compare two sets of records to ensure that the figures agree and are accurate Debtors and creditors reconciliation with the lists  The debtors and creditors control accounts are reconciled with the lists.  The lists show the individual accounts owed by each debtor and owed to each creditor while the control accounts show the summary of all transactions affecting the debtors and creditors.  These balances (lists) are taken from the debtors’ and creditors’ ledgers.  Individual transactions from the journals are used to prepare the debtors and creditors ledger which is used to prepare the lists. Concepts and terminology No. Concept Definition/ meanings 1. Debtors Customer who are buying on credit from the business ((They owe the business) 2. Creditors Suppliers from whom the business is buying on credit 3. Debtors journal Subsidiary book in which all customers that were sold goods on credit are recorded. 4.

Reconciliation Make the total of debtors in the debtor’s ledger to be the same (agree) as the balance of the debtors control account in the general ledger.
RECONCILIATION OF DEBTORS DEBTORS CONTROL ACCOUNT Preparing the debtors control = It is drawn from the totals of journals that affecting debtors NOTE TO TEACHERS: Learners must know the format of the Debtors’ control account and also to read back transactions. i.e. they must be able to give the original transactions if provided with the control account 1. Entries on the debit side  Opening balance = totals of each account in the debtor’s ledger  Credit sales of goods to customers from the DJ  Cash paid on behalf of debtor from PCJ  Entries of interest charged/transfers/ correction form GJ 2. Entries on the credit side  Payment from and customers CRJ  Discount to customers CRJ  Goods returned from customers / allowances to debtors from DAJ  Entries bad debts written off from GJ DEBTOR’S CONTROL ACCOUNT 2011 2011 Feb 1 Balance b/d 52 600 Feb 28 Bank CRJ 87 000 Discount allowed CRJ 600 28 Sales DJ 118 600 Debtor’s DAJ 5 100 Allowances Petty Cash PCJ 1 200 Journal credit GJ 1 000 Journal debit GJ 300 Balance c/d 79 000 172 700 172 700 Mar 1 Balance b/d 79 000
Reconcile the individual debtors accounts (total of debtors list) with Debtors control account At the end of every month it is normal procedure to compare the balance of the debtor’s control account with the total of the debtor’s list. The control account and the debtor’s ledger should be done by separate people. If the balance of the control account and the total of the list is the same, it is an indication that the work has been done accurately by both parties. If the balance of the Debtor’s control and the total of the Debtor’s list are not the same we must find out why and then correct it. This is called reconciliation of the Debtor’s Accounts. In order to do this reconciliation, we need to identify where the mistake took place. When we have done this we will have a better idea of how to do the correction. Possible errors  If the mistake took place on the Document or in the Journals we will have to correct both the Debtor’s Control and the Debtor’s Ledger accounts (i.e. the List).  If the mistake was totaling of the journals, then only the Debtor’s control account must be corrected.  If the mistake was in the posting, it will mean that either the Debtor’s control or Debtor’s Ledger will have to be corrected depending on to which account the posting was made in the first place  If there is a calculation mistake in either the Debtor’s control or Debtor’s Ledger the calculation will simply be rectified i.e. added correctly.
Documents given to debtors e.g. invoices, receipts, credit notes. Entered in the correct Journal POST the totals POST individual amounts to the to the DEBTOR’S CONTROL account DEBTOR’S LEDGER accounts balance of total of DEBTOR’S CONTROL Should be DEBTOR’S LIST equal Procedure for Reconciliation of debtors control account with the list. STEP 1. Check that all calculations have been done accurately STEP 2. Check that all the items in the Debtor’s Control account are in the right place (debit or credit side) STEP 3. Check that all totals in the journals have been correctly calculated and have been posted to the Control account correctly. STEP 4. Check that all calculations the Debtor’s Ledger (List) have been done accurately.
RECONCILIATION OF CREDITORS As with Debtors we also are required to reconcile the Creditor’s control balance with the Creditor’s List. Again we can us the diagram below to identify where the mistake took place and where we need to do the correction. POSSIBLE ERRORS  If the mistake took place on the Document or in the Journals we will have to correct both the Creditor’s Control and the Creditor’s Ledger accounts (i.e. the List).  If the mistake was totaling of the journals, then only the Creditor’s control account must be corrected.  If the mistake was in the posting, it will mean that either the Creditor’s control or Creditor’s Ledger will have to be corrected depending on to which account the posting was made in the first place.  If there is a calculation mistake in either the Creditor’s control or Creditor’s Ledger the calculation will simply be rectified i.e. added correctly. documents received from or given to CREDITORS e.g. invoices, cheques, debit notes. POST Entered in the correct POST Journal totals individual amounts to the to the CREDITOR’S CONTROL CREDITOR’S LEDGER account accounts CREDITOR’S CONTROL balance Should be CREDITOR’S LIST total equal CREDITOR’S CONTROL ACCOUNT 2011 2011 Feb 28 Bank CPJ 99 000 Feb 1 Balance b/d 57 600 Discount Total CJ 139 500 received CPJ 300 28 purchases Total CAJ 15 100 Journal allowances credits GJ 500 Journal debits GJ 200 Balance c/d 83 000 197 600 197 600 Mar 1 Balance b/d 83 000
