When totalling a balance in an accounts system the company has paper records of monies expended and income. When the bank run their system the cash is still moving - some bills the company expect out on a certain day my NOT betransferred out until the next nights main frame accounting run at the bank. Added to this is the fact that although a company has sent a cheque (USA Check) it may be with the company 3 - 5 days before it is banked. Then it depends if the send and receiving company use the same bank as the moneys are punched out of one account then punched to another this might take 3 days to occur meaning that accuracy between the company cash system and the banks system are not in tandem

Remember if using a debit card in a store the money you pay that store does NOT come out of YOU account when they close the till it is reconciled with the store chain, electronicly sent to their bank as a demand for payment, then their bank contacts your bank and requests the payment. That payment is then sent to your bank and entered electronically in to the company's account
