Bank Deposits
2. Saving Deposit
• The depositor is given a passbook upon the initial deposit. The passbook is required when
making deposits and withdrawals.
• Withdrawals are made anytime but the bank sometimes may require notice of withdrawal.
• A saving deposit is interest bearing.
3. Time Deposit
• This is similar to saving deposit in the sense that it is interest bearing.
• A time deposit is evidenced, however by, a formal agreement embodied in an instrument called
certificate of deposit.
• Time deposit may be predetermined or withdrawn on demand or after a certain period of time
agreed upon.
2. Debit Memos - These are book reconciling items not representing checks paid by the bank which are
charged or debited by the bank to the account of the depositor but not yet recorded by the depositor
as cash disbursements.
3. Errors - These are book reconciling items which represent the errors made by the accountant or
another person in charge during the bookkeeping process
1. Deposits in Transit – These are collections already recorded by the depositor as cash receipts but
not yet reflected on the bank statements.
2. Outstanding Checks - These checks are already recorded by the depositor as cash disbursements
but not yet reflected on the bank statement.
3. Errors - These are bank reconciling items which represent the errors made by the bank such as
erroneously debiting the company’s account for the transaction that does not exist.
1. Adjusted balance method - Under this method, the book balance and the bank balance are brought to a
correct cash balance that must appear on the balance sheet.
Balance per book, end Xxx Balance per bank, end Xxx
Add: Credit Memos Xxx Add: Deposits in Transit Xxx
Total Xxx Total Xxx
Less: Debit Memos Xxx Less: Outstanding Checks Xxx
Adjusted book balance Xxx Adjusted bank balance Xxx
2. Book to bank method - Under this method, the book balance is reconciled with the bank balance or the book
balance is adjusted to equal the bank balance.
3. Bank to book method - Under this method, the bank balance is reconciled with the book balance or the bank
balance is adjusted equally with the bank balance.

- There are certain instances where deposits in transits and outstanding checks are not
immediately available in the problem. You may only solve the problem through
reconstruction of data. The following T-account formula may be used to compute for DIT and
OC:
-
*Deposit in Transit, Ending = DIT, beg. Balance + Deposits made during current month – Deposits credit by bank during current month
DEPOSIT IN TRANSIT
Add/Less: Effect of book error in current month xx xx Add/Less: Effect of bank error in current month
Deposit made during current month xx xx Deposits credited by bank during current month
*OC, Ending = OC Beg. Balance + Checks Drawn During Current Month – Checks encashed by Bank During Current Month
OUTSTANDING CHECKS
Add/Less: Effect of bank error in current month xx xx Add/Less: Effect of book error in current month
Deposit made during current month xx xx Checks drawn during current month
