Account reconciliation in CCH Tagetik refers to the process of ensuring that 2 sets of records are in agreement with each other, usually at the account level. Let's take a look at a very 

2
00:00:17.417 --> 00:00:26.954
simple example of reconciliation, usually known as Bank Account Reconciliation. Directly from the main CCH Tagetik homepage users will be able to click on the account reconciliation tile where 

3
00:00:26.955 --> 00:00:36.492
they will be brought into a very simple account reconciliation dashboard. The first section to the left provides some useful information regarding the account that needs reconciliation

4
00:00:36.493 --> 00:00:46.030
and also the sources that have to be reconciled, in this case we're assuming that the Bank of America statement as of december 31st, needs to be reconciled with the general ledger 

5
00:00:46.031 --> 00:00:55.568
accounting statement, which right now are off by $95.000. The middle section provides some useful indicators as to where we stand in the overall 

6
00:00:55.569 --> 00:01:05.101
reconciliation process, together with some instructions to the right of the screen that provide guidelines to the users when it comes to the account reconciliation process.

7
00:01:06.403 --> 00:01:16.127
By simply clicking any of this visual indicators the users will be brought into the actual account reconciliation process. The first step is about taking a look at the sub-ledger

8
00:01:16.128 --> 00:01:26.000
balance, in this case we have a balance from Bank of America of $450.000 that we have adjusted to include some additions, such as deposits in transits, 

9
00:01:26.001 --> 00:01:35.577
or subtractions, such as outstanding checks, that did not make the cut in the final Bank of America statement. As a second step users will also be allowed to adjust the general ledger

10
00:01:35.578 --> 00:01:45.302
accounting balance to include additions or subtractions by simply clicking on the plus side, which will allows the users to include any kind of transaction such as maybe 

11
00:01:45.303 --> 00:01:55.027
some penalties that we have been assessed by Bank of America, for late payments in the amount of $6.845.

12
00:01:55.028 --> 00:02:04.752
In this case my GL statement will be adjusted and I can, at any point in time, declare my reconciliation as complete,

13
00:02:04.753 --> 00:02:14.477
as soon as I feel confident with my numbers. The last step is to actually compare the adjusted sub-ledger Bank of America statement with the adjusted accounting

14
00:02:14.478 --> 00:02:24.195
GL balance and in case post any kind of journal to reconcile the 2 statements using the CCH Tagetik journal entry capabilities.
