Bank Statement Batches allow you to import/enter bank statement data.

See below how to add this data and process it in AccountsPrep.
​

There are many ways to access the Add Bank Statement Data page in AccountsPrep, but here are two ways from the Banks tab:
​

Banks > Bank Statements > Bank account > Add Bank Statement Data

Banks > Bank accounts > Add Statement Data

The Add Bank Statement Data page offers three options to choose from.

Whatever option you choose to add your data, you need to code and process your transactions before you can post them.

Fast coding: You can fast code your transactions to process them all at once if they have the same details.

Splitting transactions: If you need to split a payment/receipt amount between two or more accounts, visit our guide showing how to split transactions.

Cheques and deposits: If you also want to use the cheques and deposits feature, you need to upload your cheques before you post your bank statement batches. You’ll then be able to match your transactions with outstanding cheques while processing your bank statement. For more information, visit Matching Bank Statement Data with Cheques to Reconcile.

Transfers: If a transaction is going to or from another bank account in AccountsPrep, you’ll need to follow the bank transfer process. This will allow you to match the transactions and avoid duplication.
​

After posting a bank statement batch, you can use the following reports to review your data:

After you post an entry, it will create a journal in the background based on the tax code default ledgers.

You can check the Bank Statement report to ensure it's consistent with the actual bank statement.

You can view the Bank Reconciliation report to check the statement balance.
