The Balance on the Bank Statement and that of the Cash Book in the Ledgers should always agree.

Bank Reconciliation Statement as a July 31

Balance as per Bank Statement                      $22,364

Add Lodgments not yet credited                       $1,745

Less unpresented checks                                 ($1,320)

Balance as per Cash Book                               $22,789

Therefore,

The balance of cash using a bank reconciliation is $22,789
