TR7-1 Bank reconciliation

VL reported a cash balance of $36k in the general ledger, but the bank statement reported a balance of $27.9k at the end of Sept 2019. You have ascertained that the bank cashed a cheque on this account, in the amount of $5.5k, which was actually issued by ML; this was an error made by the bank. There was also an outstanding deposit of $4.9k, an amount that was deposited by VL at the end of September after the bank cut-off. Outstanding cheques were $2.5k, and there was an error made by Vish’s bookkeeper, who recorded a cheque to a supplier at $1.2k when it was really $2.1k. Bank fees of $400 have not yet been recorded by VL, and neither was a direct deposit of $1,1k by a customer, who paid VL directly to VL’s bank account.
