How should I approach a bank reconciliation TBS?
Read every exhibit first and tag each item before calculating.
Use four tags: bank timing item, bank error, book-side bank activity, and company error. Then build the adjusted bank balance and adjusted book balance separately. After the balances tie, identify which book-side items require adjusting entries.
This process prevents the common simulation mistake of using the right number on the wrong side.
