A general ledger (GL) is a master document that provides a record of your business’s financial transactions. A strong GL is important in the banking industry, but all too often it is not prioritized and is thus left as an afterthought.
Your GL is the backbone of your accounting processes. Ideally, your GL should integrate with any other software you use, providing easy snapshots of your full financial picture whenever you should need them.
Pros of a strong GL
There are many reasons for implementing a strong GL at your bank. Here are just a few.
Your GL:
- Provides an accurate record of all transactions
- Helps balance your books
- Stores all expenses and income in one place, making filing taxes a breeze
- Reports real revenue to help you keep on top of spending
- Helps you spot unusual transactions
- Helps you nip fraud in the bud
- Aids in compiling comprehensive financial statements
As a banking institution, financial health is your bread and butter. So why wouldn’t you prioritize the financial health of your institution the same way you prize financial health for your customers? Incorporating a strong GL is imperative for your bank’s business.
