The accountant at Malanda Ltd prepares a monthly bank reconciliation. On 31 July she received a bank statement from CBA Bank which had a credit balance of $9,210. The company's cash at bank account per the general ledger showed a debit balance of $10,760.

iii. A cash receipt received from a customer was recorded in the cash receipts journal as $3,260 but appeared on the bank statement as $3,620. Malanda's accountant had recorded the amount correctly, so the error related to the bank.
