The specific operation method is as follows:

(1) Reconciliation of cash journal with cash receipt and payment voucher.

The receipt and payment vouchers are the basis for registering the cash journal, and the accounts and vouchers should be completely consistent. However, in the process of bookkeeping, due to careless work and other reasons, re-recording, missing records, wrong directions, or wrong numbers often occur. Account verification shall be performed one by one in accordance with the sequence in which the business occurred. The main items to be checked are: check the voucher number; recheck the bookkeeping voucher and the original voucher to see whether they are completely consistent; check the consistency of the amount and direction of the check voucher; if an error is found, it should be corrected immediately according to the prescribed method to confirm the account The certificates are exactly the same.

(2) Reconciliation of cash journal and cash general ledger.

The cash journal is registered one by one according to the receipt and payment vouchers, and the general cash ledger is collectively registered according to the receipt and payment vouchers. The basis of the accounting is the same, and the recorded results should be completely consistent. However, since the two types of books are recorded separately by different persons, and the general ledger is generally registered, errors may occur during the summary and registration process; the journal is recorded one by one, and the number of records is many. It is inevitable that errors will occur. Therefore, the cashier should regularly issue a "cash report" to check with the general ledger accountant. Usually check the balance of the two accounts frequently. After the end of each month, the debit balance, credit balance and balance of each account in the general ledger have been trial-balanced. Be sure to debit the cash in the general ledger this month, The credit amount and the balance at the end of the month are reconciled with the total monthly income (debit), the total monthly expenditure (credit), and the balance of the cash journal to check whether the accounts are completely consistent. If not, first find out which side the error is. If the debit side has an error, you should look for the cash receipt voucher, bank deposit payment voucher (cash withdrawal business) and cash income account; otherwise, you should look for cash payment voucher. And cash payers' accounts. After finding the error, it should be corrected immediately according to the prescribed methods to ensure that the accounts are consistent.

(3) Reconciliation of cash journals and cash on hand.

The cashier should check whether the accounts are consistent after the daily business ends. First settle the book balance of the cash journal of the day, and then check the actual amount of cash in the inventory to see if they are completely consistent. In actual work, anyone who has cash receipts and payment vouchers that are too late to register on the same day should be based on "the actual amount of cash in stock + the amount of undocumented payment vouchers-the amount of unaccounted vouchers = cash journal account balance Check the formula. Repeated checks still do not match, which means that the daily journal or the actual cash receipt and payment are incorrect. In this case, on the one hand, the cashier should report to the person in charge of accounting, on the other hand, they should recall the receipt and payment transactions handled on the same day by day, and try to find the cause of the error as soon as possible.
