# Bank Reconciliation
The **Bank Reconciliation** feature helps users reconcile accounting transactions recorded in the software with transactions reflected in the bank statement. This process ensures that the bank balance maintained in the accounting system matches the actual balance reported by the bank.
## Steps to Perform Bank Reconciliation
Step 1: Navigate to the **General Ledger** module.
1. Click **Reports** from the menu.
2. Select **Bank Reconciliation** option.
* The bank reconciliation screen will open.
Step 2: Click the **Bank** drop-down.
1. Select the required bank account from the available list.
* The selected bank account will be used for the reconciliation process.
Step 3: Select the **From Date** and **To Date**.
1. The system will retrieve transactions that fall within the selected date range.
Step 4: Click the **Advance Search** option.
1. Select the required filter criteria.
Step 5: After applying the filters and clicking **Display**, review the available transactions.
* Users can View **Credit (CR)**/**Debit (DR)** transactions.
* Search for foreign currency transactions.
* Verify transaction details against the bank statement.
**Important Validation**
Ensure that:
* **Closing Balance** in the accounting system matches the bank statement balance.
* **Balance as per Bank Statement** matches the reconciled balance.
Step 6: Once a transaction recorded in the software has been reflected in the bank statement, it should be marked as reconciled.
Step 7: After generating the report :
* Click the **Print** button  to generate the report in a printable document format.
* Click the **Excel** button  to export the report to Microsoft Excel format for further analysis and reporting.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.rbsgo.com/general-ledger/general-ledger-module/gl-reports/gl-reports-bank-reconciliation.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
