03 August 2009 The bank balance as per cash book may differ from Bank Statement on account of unreconciled items. How ever, the opening balance must be the same as appearing in the audited accounts of the previous period.

You must advise the client to change the opening.

03 August 2009 While changing opening balance It should be confurm that the opening balance is agreed with reconciliation.

if there is another differance then you should find out reason of the differance and make appropriate rectification entry.
