Bank Reconciliation is one of the key business processes for which ReconArt was engineered. It is universal in nature and relevant to businesses of all sizes and industries. The fundamental activity in bank reconciliation involves the matching of individual transactions reported from the bank (via statement or detailed activity report) against relevant internal data (typically the GL) to ensure that all information recorded by the bank is accurate and accounted for in the business’ finance system, most simply understood as “check book reconciliation.”
Although it seems simple on the surface, this process often challenges businesses due to the number of bank accounts, the volume of transactions, varied sources of data (e.g. every bank statement format is slightly different), and the inability to consistently maintain the reconciliation on a daily basis. All this creates large bottlenecks and cascading impacts at month-end. In some cases, other challenges arise such as the use of different currencies, check clearing, complicated transaction relationships (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many), and exception management requirements. …
ReconArt software addresses all these challenges by fully automating bank reconciliation steps, including the import and data matching process for bank account activity. Our robust matching engine allows users to create their own match rules – as simple or as complex as needed, to automatically perform the reconciliation as soon as the daily data is available. This ensures immediate visibility into exception items which can be investigated and resolved in ReconArt’s completely auditable framework, together with best practice reporting features. Leveraging automation allows for workflows that scale better and give the organization superior insight into financial position and risk.
