Human Issues:
Data Entry Errors: Errors in entering transaction details (such as amounts or dates) can lead to discrepancies. Moreover, these inaccuracies may result in misunderstandings between the recorded and actual figures. Additionally, these discrepancies can significantly impact financial assessments.
Selection Errors: Incorrectly choosing the wrong bank account for transactions can cause mismatches in records. Therefore, this inconsistency affects the coherence between financial documents. Furthermore, these errors disrupt the reconciliation process.
Duplicate Entries: Accidentally inputting transactions twice can inflate counts and lead to imbalance. Additionally, this redundancy affects the accuracy of transactional counts and amounts. Furthermore, it complicates the auditing process.
Omitted Transactions: Overlooking transactions may cause differences between the bank statement and accounting records. These omissions disrupt the reconciliation process, impacting the overall balance. Moreover, rectifying these omissions is crucial for accurate financial tracking.
Technological Issues:
- Bank Processing Delays: Transaction processing delays may temporarily impact the alignment between bank statements and accounting records. As a result, this delay causes temporary discrepancies until transactions are fully processed. Moreover, it can affect real-time financial reporting.
- Bank Processing Errors: Errors made by the bank in handling transactions, such as incorrect charges or missing deposits, contribute to discrepancies. Furthermore, these errors significantly affect the accuracy of financial documents. Additionally, they necessitate thorough verification processes.
- Data Import Errors: Importing data from external sources may introduce inconsistencies or errors if not properly formatted or if containing inconsistencies. Therefore, mishandling external data affects the reliability of reconciled information. Moreover, it underscores the importance of data quality assurance.
