What is Bank Reconciliation / Month end closing?

It is the closing of accounts you see big companies do every month. By closing accounts, you can make sure that what shows up on your bank statement tallies with your accounting records and catch any discrepancies early on. As such, it acts as a check on your bookkeeping.
