Compare your banking source information (such as your chequebook and deposit book) with your bank statements for the period that includes your conversion date. If you find transactions that have not been cleared by your bank as at this date, you will need to record the details of these transactions in your company file.

For example, in December 2011, the month prior to your conversion month, you wrote a cheque for £1,000 and deposited £500 you received from a customer. If these transactions did not appear on your December bank statement, you need to record both transactions in your company file.
