Slide 6

Slide notes: When we start a new Recon Master, we need a Page Zero, which is a pseudo Bank Page, to explain the differences between the Cash Book Balance and the last Bank Statement Balance at the time when the new Recon Master is started.

Slide 7

Slide notes: Page Zero forms the basis of verifying the initial starting point of the Recon, i.e. that the Bank Statement balances to the Cash Book, except for the differences included on Page Zero. And these very Items on Page Zero will be matched later when the entries appear on a future Bank Statement, which we refer to as Bank Pages.

Slide 9

Slide notes: It is very easy to create Page Zero. The system starts it with the same Balance as the Cash Book for the 1st Opening Period of the Recon, and any entries we include in Page Zero will work the Bank Balance backwards to finally arrive at the correct Bank Balance from the last Statement.

Slide 11

Slide notes: The document shown here explains it all. The important point to note is that Page Zero must display the correct Bank Balance as per the last Bank Statement, and then we can confirm Page Zero and proceed with the processing of new Bank Pages.
