Checks outstanding                                  (25,390)

Deposit in transit not recorded by bank    13,325  

Adjusted bank statement                           44,235‬

Cash account                                       42,920

Bank debit memo for service charges      (35)

check register error:                               1,350  

Adjusted cash account                         44,235

The procedure is to adjust for the unknow information and mistake of each party.

The bank is unaware of the check outstanding and deposit in transit

The company thanks to the banbk statement gets information about a mistake in his check register as it was posted for 1,500 when it should be 150.
