Unreconciled items and suspense accounts have inevitably become rampant in the accounting systems of most Corporate Organisations. They arise due to mistakes in handling day-to-day transactions, lack of adequate accounting knowledge, poor work attitude, fraudulent activities or a combination of this and other factors. Unreconciled items definitely affect the corporate financials adversely and in much case result in statutory provisions that erode the profit/surplus of the Corporate Organisation in the public and private sectors.

Needless to emphasis that unreconciled items and suspense accounts should be avoided as much as possible and professionally handled where they inevitably exist, in order to avoid abuse by unscrupulous members of staff.
