Collect Documents
Gather the credit card statement and the relevant records from your company’s accounting system or expense management system.
Verify Transactions
Compare each transaction on the credit card statement with the entries recorded in your financial records. This can be done manually or through accounting software if integrated with your credit card account.
Identify Discrepancies
- Unrecorded Transactions: Transactions on the credit card statement that are not yet recorded in the company’s accounts.
- Duplicate Entries: Transactions recorded more than once in your financial records.
- Incorrect Entries: Mistakes in recording amounts or descriptions.
- Unauthorized Charges: Charges that should not be on the statement or are not authorized by the company.
Investigate Discrepancies
- Unrecorded Transactions: Update your financial records to include these transactions.
- Duplicate Entries: Correct or remove the duplicate entries.
- Incorrect Entries: Adjust the amounts or descriptions as necessary.
- Unauthorized Charges: Contact the credit card company to dispute or investigate unauthorized transactions.
Adjust Financial Records
Make the necessary adjustments in your accounting system to align with the credit card statement. This might include recording missed transactions, correcting errors, or updating descriptions.
Reconcile Balances
After adjustments, ensure that the adjusted balance in your financial records matches the balance on the credit card statement.
Review and Approve
Review the reconciliation process for accuracy. It may require approval from a manager or finance team member, depending on your company’s policies.
Document the Process
Maintain detailed records of the reconciliation process, including any discrepancies found and adjustments made. This documentation is important for audits and future reference.
Implement Controls
To prevent discrepancies in the future, consider implementing controls such as:
- Regular Reconciliation: Perform reconciliations on a regular basis (e.g., monthly).
- Clear Policies: Establish clear policies for credit card use and expense reporting.
- Training: Train employees on proper credit card usage and reporting procedures.
- Expense Management Systems: Use systems or software that integrate with credit card accounts for real-time tracking and reconciliation.
