Streamline your business with ICICI Bank’s Connected Banking Automated Reconciliation System.

What is Reconciliation and why is it important for businesses?

Reconciliation is, essentially, the process of checking 2 sets of records to ensure accuracy and alignment. In the context of businesses, this is most often used in order to ensure timely and accurate payments to suppliers and vendors, as well as collections from customers. This process is also important to ensure good financial health, by means of identifying any mistakes or discrepancies in the books. It is also valuable in detecting any fraudulent activities.

What are the challenges with the Manual Reconciliation process?

Manual reconciliation is a long, tedious and cumbersome process. It can take a lot of time and effort to complete, both of which have costs associated with them. Moreover, doing it manually can also make it prone to errors, which can have significant impacts. Manual reconciliation is also known to cause delays in generating invoices and receiving subsequent payments.

Another important aspect is compliance to GST guidelines, due to which monthly reconciliation has become of paramount importance. Businesses can claim Income Tax Credits, only after furnishing detailed invoices, payments and returns reconciliation. This can involve matching multiple entries from your own books, GSTR-2A, GSTR-2B, GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 at monthly, quarterly or on an annual basis; as the case might be.
