some of us bookkeeping students won't know the right answers. as a student and i do not have experience i won't be able to answer some of the questions. just because i do not have experience, like the first day i will review your balance sheet. collages don't teach these stuff. i think its fair if anyone is hiring students, the best way is give them minimum wage but be soft with the questions, for them to have a better understanding and knowledge later ...

A bookkeeper should understand your business and use their skills to help the owner manage their business.
It not about recording numbers.
If the bank is out of wack on the reconciliation, find it. It's very lazy if it's written off.

Can you explain how you got to the difference of almost 20k vs 100, as you told in your example of why to reconcile w zero tolerance?

[@luciazurlo1237]

Example: we have the following bank statement, difference between starting and ending balance is 100; if by mistake you don't record the deposit and the payment in your accounting your ending balance will be 5000, differing from the bank for just $100, right? that difference is been generated by 2 big oversights (deposit $10,000 and payment $9,900).
BANK STARTING BALANCE 5000
DEPOSIT 10000
PAYMENT -9900
BANK ENDING BALANCE 5100
