07 January 2014 I am doing a reconciliation of creditors as at 31st Dec,2013. I am taking our company's book balance as at 31st dec,2013 but is it necessary to have supplier statement also from them as at 31st dec,13 because if i will not receive the statement from supplier as at 31st dec,13 but may be before date from there also I can retrieve our balance as at 31st dec,13.

07 January 2014 Reconciliation of creditors can be made only when you receive confirmation/statement from the creditors.

Reconciliation means tallying one item with other. When you don't know the balance lying in the books of the other; how you would be able to tally the same with your books?

07 January 2014 Your query is not clear. However I presume that you have been instructed by the employer to reconcile the balances of creditors.
.
.
PRACTICAL HINT :
.
Reconcile the balances of the creditors to the extent the statements are made available
by them.
.
.
For rest of the creditors who have not supplied their statements....just note down their names and balances

and

GO FOR A BREAK. :)

Whatever I have written can be well understood by everyone who is engaged in accounting.

09 January 2014 If I have a balance as at dec and supplier had given me a statement till Nov I can reconcile because if i will take whatever invoices we have not posted or payment we have not considered in between nov and dec and vice versa. It can get reconciled.
