1st April is th opening balances 

Transactions occurs and every account is debited or credited 

31 March is the closing final balance

 

Yes, Due to reconciliation there might be different balance as per Bank Statement and Financial Statement.
Which one should i consider for opening balance purpose?

If it is bank reconciliation, reconsiliation can be done based on the cash book or pass book.

If cheques are then only there can be a difference
Should be taken on year ended asper your software.
Bank balance as per ledger or balance sheet should be considered. The difference due to " Cheques issued but not cleared or Cheques deposited but not cleared " will be part of BRS

Same thing I had told her in first  query  and reply , you have to take balance as per books ( Financial statement ) , to carry forward next  year  not as per bank statement . 

👍🏻👍🏻

Accordingly there is always a small difference due to discrepencies in book keeping. The audit thrshold of 3% saves everyone in the company with errors. BRS is the easiest and tracking invoices the the next big challange. 

But only cheques make difference

Consider balance as per books of accounts only.
