Month-End Close and Bank Reconciliation Procedure
About this document
Reliable monthly figures depend on a consistent month-end routine. This procedure sets out what needs to be done each month and in what order – from reconciling every bank and card account to checking the VAT, payroll and loan control accounts – so that management accounts are accurate, problems are found quickly and the year-end is far easier.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
