Accounts Receivable Reconciliation
Once a year, a formal balance confirmation should be obtained from all the customers and their account reconciled. A separate form should be filled up and dispatched to each customer, at the address mentioned in the customer master for confirmation of balance.
These statements should be reconciled with the balances as per the Company’s books of account. The reasons for differences should be identified and adjustment, if required, to be made in the books after discussion with the customers.
The reconciliation should be reviewed and approved by SM-S&D at HO. A list of differences, if any, should also be forwarded to the concerned Branch Head. The concerned Branch Head should follow up the reasons for differences with the customers.
