Bank balance reflected in the books of accounts, whether manual or computerized,is to be considered in balance sheet according to basic accounting principles. For the difference between that figure and bank statement figure usually accountants prepare a statement called 'bank reconciliation statement'to be kept in company's records for future verification or to produce before authorities if called for.
